A Miller wanted.
Employment for an honest, so
ber, industrious man, who understands manufacturing
wheat in the best manner, and is capable in every re
fpeCt of managing a mill, confiding of two pair of
stones, one of which are French burrs, situate near Po
towmack river, in Virginia, a fine healthy country —
also, to superintend the business of a cooper's shop,
wherein three hands are employed, near the mill.
If his knowledge extends to the mill-wright business,
so as to keep the running gears in repair, it would add
to the convenience ; and his having a small family
would be preferable to none. He will be furnifhed
with a comfortable dwelling-house contiguous to the
mill, a good garden properly paled in, and perhaps
some other conveniences, as may be stipulated and
agreed on. He must produce unquestionable recom
mendations of his honesty, sobriety, and industry, to
his Excellency General Washington, Mount Vernon,
in Virginia, or to the fubferibers in Philadelphia, who
will contrast with such person on generous terms.

Letters from Infpruck advise, that on the 15th of
last month, a corps of Imperial troops arrived there
in their way to the Low Countries Her Royal
Highness the Archdutchefs Elizabeth, accompanied by
many of the foil distinction, went to meet those
troops, and to fee them file off towards Telfs ; after
which, the principal officers had the honour to be ad
mitted to the table of her Royal highness, who or
dered a day's pay to be distributed to each subaltern
officer and soldier of that corps, and the next day
they continued their marches to the places appointed.
L O N DO N, January 11.
On Friday, January 7, the wind being N. N. W.
very moderate and the iky clear, Mr. Blanchard, ac
companied by Dr. Jefferies, took his departure for the
continent in his balloon, from the cable at Dover.
1 hree guns were fired from the castle at nine in the
morning, and the flag was hoisted upon the firing of
the firft gun, as a lignal that the aeronauts were pre
paring to fill the balloon. About ten minutes before
its afeenfion, a fourth gun was tired, as a fgnal that
the aerial vessel and voyagers were about to depart
The balloon was completely 'filled by one o'clock •
the vessel which afeended with it in the five former
voyages was affixed ; the courageous and intrepid voy
agers took their feats ; the oars and fly used in the
last voyage were placed in the boat ; nine bi gs of bal
last ; the French edition of Mr. Blanchard's voyage,
with Mr. Sheldon's; a large inflated bi dder, con
taining a number of letters from people of the firft
dibindion in this country to several of the French no
bility ; a compass, and fume philosophical instruments ;
a small bottle of brandy ; two beautiful silk ensigns,
English and French; a few bifleets, and two cork
jackets, made the whole of their cargo. Mr. Blanch
ard had adapted an apparatus to sustain himfelf and
friend, without the boat, which weighed 64 pounds,
if they fhouid have occasion for a diminution of weight
upon the voyage. The balloon was filled in abou^
two hours and an half, and the process conduced by
Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Decker, of Berwick-ftreet,
Soho. 1 hey afeended at 13 minutes past one, elofe
to the large gun (well known by the name of Queen
Ann's pocket pibol.) Mr. Blanchard kept the balloon
in exa& equilibrium for a confideiable time. The
greatest tilence reigned among the numerous concourse
of fpedators, until Mr. Blanchaid had got so far from
the cliff as to be over the sea: He ftoud cred in the
car, and faiuted the fptridtcrs most gracefully, by
bowing, taking off his hat, and waving his enfbn,
He was then cheered by the loudest acclamations.
The balloon continued its route in the horizontal
direction,; then appealed to rife; and at one time the
January 7. According to the latest advices from
Stockholm, the declaration given by the Swedish Mi
nisters to the Empress of Russia, during the absence
of the King, their matter, has been confirmed in a let
ter written by his Majesty himfelf to that sovereign 4
in which his Majesty affiires her, that his engagements
and new treaty with France went only to promote
commerce among his fubjedls, and did not in any de
gree affect the interest of the neighbouring powers,
and that he would be happy to give the Empress every
testimony of his sincere friendfhip. Since the receipt
of this letter, every thing appears quiet ; but the for
treffes and magazines in Fionia have been visited by
order of the Court of Peterfburgh.
