LONDON, O&ober 19.
Our letters from Amsterdam assure us,
that the report of the disposition of the
States General to yield to the views of the
Emperor, in the opening of the Scheldt,
is void of foundation. Far from disapprov
ing the conduct of Captain Volbergen,
and from attributing it to the non-arrival
of orders, they have made in an Assem
bly extraordinary, of October 9, a firm
and vigorous resolution. Whilst they enu
merate their concessions to the Emperor,
in the relinquishment of the barriers, and
the provisional recal of the guard-lhips
from Lillo, they assert their inconteftible
riglit to keep the Scheldt blocked up; a
right founded not only on the solemnity
of treaties, but also on the possession of
both banks of the river, and the fortreffes
on the mouth of it. They declare, that
they confider the attempt of the Antwerp
vessels as the mod flagrant violation of
their rights.
The last letters from Constantinople fay,
that the Porte is augmenting its navy in
the Black Sea to 13 ships of war, which
will render it nearly as reipe&able as the
Ruffian fleet in the Afoph ; that they are
reinforcing the different garrisons through
out the empire; and that a great number
of French engineers have been engaged in
the Turkish service. The fame advices
fay, that there are at present 38,000 troops
tin garrison at Bulgaria, and the fame num
ber on their march to Moldavia ; which
two provinces adjoin the Emperor's domi
nions ; so that, should the Court of Vi
enna engage in a war with any of the
Christian Powers in alliance with the Ot
toman Porte, a very powerful diversion
may be made in their favour.
the water-bearers at Paris, a very har
dy and laborious set of people, and so nu
merous, that they muller to the rate of
near 40,000, are, by suitable encourage
ments from the French Government, to
be invited into the marine service of

Ran away, on the 4th day of October, 1784, from
the fubferiber, living on Deer-Creek, in Harford
county, Maryland, a negro man, named
OLIVE R,
Though commonly called NOL.
HE is a well set fellow, about thirty years of age,
five feet fix inches high, of a good black co
lour, a high round forehead, middling large ears and
mouth, his feet and legs are of the larger size, with
a small fear over and across one of his eye-brows (I
think his right eye-brow)—He is left-handed. Had
on and took with him when he went away, a brown
cloth coat with bright-faced buttons, a white jacket,
white fliirt, and some kind of trowfers, shoes and
stockings, with some things in a bundle. He proba
bly will change his name and procure a pass, and en
deavour to pass for a freeman. He once before ran
away, and was taken up in Pennsylvania, by the above
described fear. Whoever takes up said fellow, and
delivers him to his master, or secures him in any gaol,
so that his master may get him again, shall have the
above reward, paid by
