fcpt. 28—C&.5. THE S UTII-CAROLIN A & AMERICAN GENERAL GAZ E TTE, for 1772.
A YOUNG lady, daughter of a gentleman in
the neighbourhood of Illington, has, with
'", E W days' been difeovered to be pregnant.
What is worthy remark, she positively denies ha
ving had, with her knowledge, the least connex
ion with the other sex.
Hague, (Capital of the United Provinces) July 21.
The last letters from Vienna advise, that they flat
ter themselves at that Court that as soon as their
Minister arrives at Warsaw, the object of the ne
gociations there will become better known to the
publick. That Minister, it is said, is charged to
represent to the Republick of Poland how much
its interest and security require a change of go
vernment, and in this argument he will be support
ed by the Ministers from Peterfbourg and Berlin ;
which, if it should have its due weight, will be
followed by a proposal of marriage between the
King of Poland and one of the Archduchesses of
the House of Austria.
Warfare, (Capital of Poland) July ro. Advices
from Count Romanzow mention, that his army
is posted at Rabja Mogila. The Ruffian fleet is
near Afoph in Kilia, in the Black Sea, not far from
Jaffy, at which place a number of iron cannons are
calling for their use.
Newcafile, July 25. Monday last Mr. Potter,
Supervisor of Excise, having put his marc into
Mrs. Greeve's stable, at Blyth, and left her loose
with the faddie on, the window, which measures
only thirty-seven inches in height, and twenty in
breadth, and is near four feet from the stable floor,
being left open, die made a sudden spring through
it without receiving any hurt, notwithftandmg she
is near fifteen hands high, or doing any other da
mage than breaking the girth, whereby the saddle
was left behind. It is imagined the thunder,
which was very loud at that time, was the occa
sion of the above extraordinary case.
July 29. His Majesty's ships the Quebeck, Bo
netta, and Tryal, are failed from Portsmouth for
Woolwich, to be paid off.
Among all the surnames we have met with, we
do not remember so uncommon a one as in the
following advertisement in the Canterbury Jour
nal. It is as follows: " Mary Scaredevil, widow
to the late William Scaredevil, of Maidftone,
does, by the assistance of the Almighty, intend to
carry on the business of White-Smith, and hopes
for the favours and recommendations of the gen
tlemen and ladies Whom the late William Scare
devil had the pleasure to serve, which will be
gratefully acknowledged by their most humble
servant, Mary Scaredevil."
July 30. A gentleman has communicated to us
the following remarkable expression which was
said by his Majesty to Lord North, a little before
the riling of the Session of Parliament. It was
just before the opening of the Levee at St. James's,
when his Majesty with Lord North and three
other Noblemen were in a private room. The
tonverfation turning upon the then favourable
profped of peace, his Majesty, taking Lord North
by the hand, said, " While you, my Lord, can
secure peace to my dominions, you shall be firft
Miniftei'in England."
The Duc d'Aiguillon and the Chancelbur of
France, who at present manage the affairs of that
kingdom, seem to have adopted the peaceful sys
tem of Cardinal de Fleury in refpe& to Great-
Britain. One of the principal causes of the late
Minister Choifeul's disgrace, was the endeavour
ing to interrupt the peace ofEurope, contrary to
his matter's system and private inclination. The
enemies, and the fucceffours to the power of that
minister, have now in their possession undoubted
proofs of this fad, which must ever operate to
prevent his recal from banishment. The sums
expended by France in warlike preparations; with
a view to the Eaft-Endies, where Choifeul meant
to have made the fitft impression amount to a
sum almost incredible : so great, indeed, that the
Treasury of France have lately, from inabili
lity, refufed payment of bills drawn from their
settlements beyond the Cape. The whole system,
therefore, refpeding there-establishment of the
French East-India trade, by the influence of a
-refpedable military force, either at Mauritius,
Madagascar, or Pondicherry, is, for the present at
least, entirely laid aside, and the French King's
troops hi ve in consequence been recalled.
- The various reports which have been confi
dently asserted in the publick prints with refped
to the large arrear due to his Majesty's houfhold
servants, are entirely without foundation. They
are regularly paid every quarter, as faft as the va
rious offices through which the ro\ al accounts are
passed will admit, and at the most can never have
more than one half year due to them. This half
year arises from the multiplicity of examinations
through which, as we have just hinted, they must
unavoidably pass, and of course cannot be menti
oned as a fault in the management of the houfhold.
Poor as the Royal coffers are generally repre
sented, it is thought that if there was any real
ground for such a representation, the houfhold of
the Prince of Wales would have been ettabliihed
before this, as an obvious means of filling the re
gal purse, without offering any offence to the jea
lousy of the people.
The annual infpeftion which Lord Sandwich
has established into all the royal dock-yards, gives
great fatisfadion, as it keeps the various officers
exceedingly attentive to their duty, and makes the
national business better done than formerly at a
decreased expence to the government.
The following is the assent to the armiftipe agreed on the
30th of May, and fort by the Grand Vizir 'to his Excel
lency Court Peter Alexander Romanzow ; translated
verbatim from the Arabick language: which, we hope
will not be disagreeable to our readers, as it foews the
style and taste of that uncivilized nation, and at the fame
"time the pride and baughtinefs of a savage and a tyrant.
" Firmly relying upon the assistance of the only,
indivisible, One God, to whom nothing is comparable,
and who created all things, and declared and revealed
his divine will through the great Mahomet. Amen.
" The mod righteous, and most powerful, and great
Emperour and Sultan, created to this dignity by the
eternal election of the Almighty; gifted with the impe
rial and philanthropick qualities for exhibiting the wel
fare and profperitv of the Holy State of Mecca; and
inverted with the highest power, and reigning over an
infinite multitude of nations, both by land and sea ; who
is the wifert among the righteous Sultans, the most de
servedly elected, and worthiest among all the regents;
Sovereign Lord and Ruler over all the Princes in the
EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.

Lond o n, July 28.
world, the only Legiflatour and Sovereign, chosen to it
out of the most serene pedigree iri the World; all his ser
vants, that is to fay, all the inhabitants of the world,
return him hearty thanks for the least grace he thews to
them, and especially for the grace he (news to them by
the present declaration, through me, Mahomet, his un
worthy Servant and Slave. Whereas, the extreme need
and misery of his fubje^s, which are intruded to him
by the Eternal Creator himfelf, went to his heart. Ac
cording to his imperial philanthropy, be all the world
witness, and learn morals. How violent the love for his
fubje^fs being in his most noble heart, by thus conde
scending, through the great love he bears towards his
servants, to agree upon the present armirtice: He de
clares, before the eyes of the wife and virtuous men,
whom he has made free, and exempted from their ser
vitude, that, had it been poflible, according to his ho
nour and glory, he would nave laid before them the cir
eumrtances and events which have pleased God and the
Great Mahomet,and which have been the cause of break
ing the peace between the everlasting Ottoman empire
and the Ruffian inhabitants. After which unreasonable
and unclear behaviour in the eyes of God from the Ruf
fian fide, the Sovereign of the Globe, my Master, light
ed the fire of war; but, alas! what homicide and blood
flied on both sides hath there been during thefc last four
or five years?
" And although it has been predeftinated so to be in
the eternal council of God, yet as it requires a reconci
liation through the great prophet Mahomet, and feeing
that at the last the most famous Prince, the greatest
of the Princes who believe in ffefus, the only elected
man of the people of the Meffian, the only decider
of the business and rights of the nations of Nazareth,
to whom my Master allows Glory and Majesty dure
ring his pious will, the high, the happiest Goyernour,
the Emperour of Germany, and likewise the King
of Pruflia, the end of both which Princes be blefled,
so that they may be led into the way of salvati
on; and they having looked into the terrible blood
fhedding, and written constantly to their Minister, re
siding at the Court of the most illustrious Porte,, to cry
for mercy before the most brilliant and glorious throne
of my Ma^er, whose unworthy Have I am. And as it
was at the fame time the most ardent wish and longing
from the throne of the glorious Princess, who is so high
esteemed by the Princes who believe in Jesus, who reigns
over many nations of Nazareth, and governs the peo
ple of the Messiah, with honour, and with heroick
mind, and who acknowledges her errours and unjust
contrivances against the molt illustrious Porte, namely
the Empress of Russia, whole end also be biefled, and
and may She be led into the way of Salvation! What a
glory for the great and high, mighty, just, wife, and
virtuous Sultan, to fee all the nations of Europe repre
sented by the ministers of the Princes surrounding his
throne, and Sighing for his gracious will! but not to
gain the favour of all those Princes, nor yet influenced
by their favour or their magnificence, hath been the
cause of his gracious will; for nothing but the love for
his fubjefts in particular, and for mankind in general,
hath he declared his most pious and gracious will to agree
upon an armistice, as a beginning and firft Stone to peace
and harmony, which he having thus accepted of, the
whole world is rejoiced, and the nations bring him
thanks to his most glorious throne; and to me, his un
worthy Slave, he g^ve a full power, to which I have ap
pointed one of the members of the highest Divan, the
urefident of the college of Reviflon, a commander of
fix regiments of horse, the most worthy Seu Abdul Re
rim Effendi, whose glory may encreafe! who sent to me
the nine articles of it after it was agreed upon [which
have already appeared in this paperl; and as 1 found
them confining with the honour, dory and magnifi
cence of my master, whose unworthy slave I am, and
who gave me full power to give my assent in his glori
ous name, therefore I fay, with joy and praise to God,
and to the great prophet Mahomet, he may continue
the peace among mankind, and increase the glory of
the wisest and most just Sultan, &c. &c."
Hamburgh, July 9. We have acccunts from Li
vonia, Prussia, Poland, Hungary and Germany,
ofa fine hav harvest, and great appearance of plen
ty of corn.
Edinburgh, fuly 21. We hear From Greenock,
that a large ihip has been freighted at that place,
to carry three hundred passengers from the Isle of
Skyeto Carolina. This is the emigration which we
mentioned some time ago; they are to fail next
month. We hope some proper plan will be thought
of to encourage our natives to cultivate their own
country ; there is abundance of improvements still
wanting in this part of the kingdom, and the loss
of ufeful hands must soon impoverish any country.
London, July 31. We hear that the Board of
Trade have lately determined, in consideration of
a memorial from Governour Leyborne, referred
by the King's order, that all the sales and leases
of his Majesty's lands in Dominica must, in con
formity to the Royal inftrudiions to the Commif
fioners, be passed under the Publick Seal of Gre
nada; and it is further said, that if any of them
have, by mistake, passed only the seal of Dominica
they must still, in order to their being regular and
legal, be likewise sealed at Grenada, by the Go
vernour, who is not to require any frefh fee, but
may have recourse to proper measures for r co
vering the former fee, which he was entitled
to have.
It is reported that the Office of Secretary of
State for Scotland, which has lain dormant up
wards of thirty years, will soon be revived. The
late Marquis of Tweeddale was the last Secretary.
Last night a Cabinet Council was held at Lord
Rochford's Office, in Cleveland Row, at which the
Lord Chancellour, and all the Great Officers of
State assisted, and was not up till near twelve o',
clock. The Earl of Suffolk was sent for to town
to assist at this Council.
This day there was a full Board of Admiralty
at which several Officers appeared upon business
of the greatest importance, such as the state of the
Dock Yards, and the several ships in different ports.
The Friendship, Carter from Georgia for Bre
men, ran on shore near the Elbe, and after throw
ing overboard two hundred and eighty barrels
of rice, and the loss of two cables and anchors,
got off.
Thorn, (Poland) July 5. The King of Prussia
wrote a letter lately to Gen. Lieutenant Bibikow,
who was a particular companion to Prince Henry,
when in Russia, to invite him to a review at Mari
enwerder ; the General excused himfelf in a polite
manner, that be had letters to write to his Mi
stress, the Empress of Russia. The King's answer,
answer, dated Potsdam, June 14, is as follows:
“ My dear General Bibikow, If you are sorry you
cannot come to me to Marienwerder, how much
more sorry am I to be deprived of your company,
as an able and experienced officer to converse
with, and improve me in the military art. I shall,
however, at any other time be glad to have your
agreeable company. A General like you shall ne
ver be out of my fight or mind. I pray God to
take you under his holy protection."
