Extract of a letter from Jaffy, in Moldavia, Aug. 6.
“ The Turkilh army are at this time palling the
river Danube, under the command of the Grand
Vizir himfelf, near the confines of Befferabia, in
the following order; the Wallachian and Molda
vian auxiliaries, together with the 1 artars, and
qooohorfe in one column, under the command of
the Waivade of Wallachia, and the Tartar Gene
ral: another column under the command of Nin
man Pacha, consisting of 12,000 foot, and the
whole body of the Spahis, passing between the
other two, and is composed of the Janissaries, and
the other body of the Spahis, called the Spabao
olari, under the command of the Grand Vizir him
felf, and the Aga of the Janissaries. Marshall
Count Romanzow has used, and is still using all
his endeavours, to hinder their crossing, but it is
thought all his efforts will prove in vain, the Turks
having taken such great precautions before they be
gan the attempt towards Oblucice, in Befferabia,
they have the advantage of a body of 6000 of
their own people to defend them, who have ex
tended in a line, and built several batteries, which
effectually secures them on that part. Their heavy
artillery, with the engineers, and some bodies of
theJaniffaries, are already over, and have entrench
ed themselves securely, so as to cover the passing
of the other troops in front; and they have the ri
ver Purth on the left, the branches of which are
so well defended, that it will be madness to attack
them on that fide. All that Count Romanzow can
do, is to hinder them from getting possession ofany
town or fortified place, which is in their intention,
and which the Ruffians will certainly oppose with
all their power, the place which the Turks have
an eye to, is Muluth, a town of some Strength,
about twenty leagues before they arrive to the
city from the Danube—The Marshal is sensible of
their design, and has already thrown a great num
ber of men into the town, and intends to put him
felf at the head of the main body of his army, be
tween it and the Turks. In the mean time two
"y'°g armies ofCofTacks and Huflars, are fentout
to harrafs the 'lurks in their march, and to pre
vent, if possible, their advance far into Moldavia,
as it may be attended witli ill conferences to the
Ruffians; as should the Turks regain poffefuon of
Moldavia and Wallachia, the Ruffian arms would
meet with but little success; and experience has
taught, that where the Turks once gain re-posses
sion, it is a difficult matter to drive them out
again."

TO BE SOL D,
And possession given in February next, or sooner if
required,
THE FURNACE situated in the township
of Salisbury, and province of Connecticut,
New-England, having been lately rebuilt on the
most approved plan, all the conveniences about the
fame being either new or in good repair, together
with all the utensils, and a compleat set of patterns
for hollow ware and other cartings; the sole proper
ty of a piece of water frortiwhich the furnace is flip
plied, the area measuring 600 acres; a mansion-house
most agreeably situated, confiding of four rooms on
a floor, a good garden and other conveniences ; two
other houses for workmen, a store completely fitted
for English and Weft-India goods and provisions, a
compting-heufe, &c. * large barn, with stabling
for horses and oxen : Also, a property in the bed
of iron ore in laid Salisbury, known by the Ore
Grant, with an exclusive right of digging, raising
and carrying away ore from another bed known by
Chatfield's Ore Bed, and the right of foil in a piece
of land joining weft on the Ore Grant, which ten
tains iron ore; thele beds all lye within two miles
from the furnace (the roads good): Also 753 acres
of land, 300 of which is under improvement, and
the whole well watered. The premises are situated
in a healthy, fruitful and pleasant country, on the
high road from Hartford to Hudson's river and Al
bany, distant about 30 miles from the river. The
quality of the iron made from the above ore is well
known, both in England and America, to be equal
to any made on this continent : The quantity of ore,
which lays near the fwrface, appears inexbauftible,
the country round is well Supplied with wood for
coal, and the regular supply of water at all seasons
(without danger from floods) admits of the furnace
being in blast all the year : The iron is excellent for
pot-ash kettles, sugar boilers for the Weft-Indies,
and military stores: The furnace not taking all the
water, any additional works might be ere&ed with
great convenience and small expence ; The rapid
Settlement of an extensive country to the north and
north weff, must daily increase the demand for eve
ry article usually cast at a furnace : An extensive
trade may be introduced in English and Weft.lndia
goods, out of which the works might be Supplied
with Stock and provisions, and carried on with more
profit than such bufmefs can be in a country where
there are few inhabitants.
Also to be SOLD, a compleat double forge,
with four fires and two hammers, now at work, to
gether with all necessary utensils, situated in Cole
brook, Connecticut, near the road from Hartford
to the Furnace, built in 1771 after the best model,
with a good Stream and head of water, and in case
of need (in very dry seasons) the privilege of a pond
of water 5 miles in length for supply or said forge ;
the like caution is observed to prevent the bufmefs
being retarded in winter, by having the wheels un
der cover, with large iron stoves, and canals cut to
take the surplus water. Adjacent to the forge there
is a dwelling-house, with four rooms on a floor, a
store and cellar, four houses for workmen, a barn,
cole-houfe, iron-house and black, smiths (hop, all
built in 1771; also a saw mill and dwelling-house
at a small distance from the forge, with good fifua
etions for erecting other works on the fame Stream,
together with 289 acres of land round the forge and
saw mill, about 50 of which are under improvement.
The forge is situated in the center of a large trad
of wood land, surrounded with a cultivated coun
try which is in want of bar iron, there being very
little refinai bar iron nianufaCtured in Connecticut,
and the consumption considerable. This estate,
joined with that at Salisbury, is capable of many
improvements. For further particulars apply to
Mr. Charles Startin, merchant, in Philadel
phia, Mr. Peter Vandervoort, merchant, in
New-York, Mr. James Holmes at the furnace,
Mr. Jacob Ogden at the forge, or Capt, William
Tiley in Hartford.

when he had none, and others who are willing to
encourage this Almanack, to supply themselves im^
mediately.
They are fold at JAMES HUMPHREYS,
