Employment for an honest, so
ber, industrious man, who understands manufacturing
wheat in the best manner, and is capable in every re
fped of managing a mill, confuting of two pair of
Rones, one of which are French burrs, lituate 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 conveniencies, as may be Ripulated 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 contract with such person on generous terms.

A Prince of much less power and spirit than the
Emperor must have felt on his accession, the extreme
indignity of having his towns garrisoned with troops
not fubjed to his commands, and the rivers collected
in his dominions shut up and rendered useless. How
came the Dutch not to remonftrare when the Empe
ror dismissed those garrisons ? And why in such a
rage when the Scheldt is to be opened? The views
of the family compact can resolve these difficulties.
Those who have been repeatedly arguing admini
stration to display the national character, which has
been the national folly, refpe&ing the disputes on the
continent, have taken Ihame to themselves and they
are silent. Whatever favourable opinion we may en
tertain of the abilities and intentions of our younu @.
nifter, peace with all the world, and a long p^ace, is
necessary to the arrangement of our affair For a
century past we have dazzled the eyes of men with
brilliant campaigns in Flanders and Germany o secur
ing the Dutch barrier ; supporting the Houfes'of Au
stria and Brandenbourg. But though a hundred mil
lions were thus spent, neither the Dutch nor the Ger
mans came to the assistance of their benefactors en
gaged in a struggle that dismembered the Empire.—
Let the Emperor and the Dutch fight their own bat
tles, we have no concern in the event.
It has been very assiduously attempted, by the vari
ous instruments of a difaffe&ed party, to embroil the
present administration with one or other of the
ties who are pieparing tor war on the continent. The
Empeior has not had many advocates; even Mr.
Wraxall is silent in his behalf, the Emperor not hav
ing taken notice of his last oration in his praife.'l'h e
Dutch are the favourites of the coalition ; and, what
is wonderful, it is on account of their religion In
deed, the spirit of injußice and crueky, which h^
ever marked Dutch politicks, is very congenial with
that which distinguished the leader of the coalidon'
both in the American war, and in M r . Fcx's'lti-
India bill. The claims of the Dutch in the prefect
dispute, though guarded by treaties, are odious, and
offenfive to humanity. By keeping the Scheldt shut
up, they ad on the principles of those tyrants win
put out people's eyes, and lop off their limbs c Um
their own suspicions and appreheufions.
LONDO N, January 6.
The condud observed towards Great-Britain, in
the difficulties of the late war, points out to our
ministers the propriety of the neutrality they ob
serve towards the Emperor and the Dutch. We for
merly mortgaged our revenues in wars where we were
only acceffaries, and a&ed on such delusive principles
as must have disgraced any nation pretending to poli
ticks and prudence. We had a Quixotism receding
French power, and an alertness in defence of allies
who have always deserted us in distress, so that they
reckoned on our force as their's, and often refuted
reasonable terms of accommodation, expe&in« to car
ry on war at our expence. Having experienced the
value both of Dutch and Austrian gratitude, our mi
nisters will not be interrupted in healing our internal
disorders by their contentions about the obfeivance
or infraction of their treaties.
A Courier arrived here last Sunday from Paris,
with defpatches for their High Mightinesses,
the contents of which are kept very secret. Some
persons, however, pretend, that they have brought
advices, “ That the Emperor is well disposed to re
new the negociations, and enter into an amicable ac
commodation ; but under condition, that the opening
of the Scheldt, and the indemnification of the Empe
ror's expences in sustaining his claim, be stipulated
and deposited as a basis before the negociation re-com
mences ; and that without these two points it would
be impossible to think of an accommodation." If this
news is true, we may venture to predict, that a war
is inevitable ; and that the republicans of the United
Low Countries will expose themselves to every dan
ger, and fight with desperate courage, rather than to
subscribe to such unjust and imperious conditions.
