Employment for an honest, so
ber, industrious man, who understands manufacturing
wheat in the belt manner, and is capable in every re
spect 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 conveniencies, 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.

A gentleman, who is but just returned from Paris,
fays, that the french ministry have offered the states
of America two of their largest men of war, to be
converted into trading flrips for the China market,
where the states of New-England are determined to
trade and import the goods of that country, without
resorting for them to Europe.
A remarkable cause was tried on Monday in the
court of common pleas. A man had promised marri
age to a woman, and gone from his word. A bible
was produced, wherein an entry was made as follows:
" l promise to make my unlawful wife for
twelve months, or forfeit 100 I." It was proved that
the parties had lived together three years, during
which time the plaintiff had two children by the de
fendant ; the jury, theiefore, gave 3001. damages to
the plaintiff.
Extras of a letter from Edinburgh, February 9.
" The Mary, Hay, from Leith to London, foun
dered last Monday night, about 5 leagues N. E from
Orfordnefs. The vessel was not leaky any part of the
voyage, and at ten o'clock that night, after the gale
had subsided, the pumps were tried, but no water
was found. At twelve o'clock the alarm was given
that the Ship was finking; the master, who had re
tired to bed, sprang upon deck, and, with the mate,
two of the paflengers, and two of the crew, took to
the yawl ; the remainder of the crew and paflengers.
amounting to 24, went down with the vessel.(
the fix persons who took to the boat, one died; t
other five, after a struggle of fifteen hours, were tai
up by a vessel belonging to Hull. The Captain ch
not remember the names of the paflengers, but T,
they were mostly in the military line, and going 0
to India. There was one lady on board, who was
among those who perished. There was a valuable
cargo on board."
Feb. 18. According to letters from Jamaica and
the Leeward Elands, the French and Dutch are ad
mitted into the Spaniffi ports with the utmost free
dom, while no English mips dare come into them,
without the usual search, and a number of questions
alked. What pity this insult was not considered at
the late peace, and a Stipulation made with the Com
of Madrid, to remove forever such a badge of the re
maining jealously of the Spaniards rewards this nation.
LONDO N, February 17.
Yesterday, at three o'clock, one of the King's mes
sengers arrived at St. James's with defpatches from
the Duke of Dorfet, his Majesty's Ambassador at Pa
ris, by which it appears, that the dispute between the
Emperor and the Republick of Holland is very near
being brought to a state of accommodation ; and the
French have given up their intention of encampments
in Flanders. In consequence of the success of the ne
gociation, M. de Brantfen, the Dutch Envoy, gave a
grand entertainment at his Hotel au Place de Louis,
&c. the 7th ; and on the day following Count de
Mercy gave one of equal elegance at his house in the
Couronne Grande. M. de Simolin, the new Ambas
sador to France, landed at Calais on Sunday noon
last, and immediately set forward for Paris. A gene
ral report was current at Paris when these accounts
came away, that the Emperor was expe&ed there in
the course of the spring. The Queen of France has
entered into the sixth month of her pregnancy, and
continues in peried health. The young dauphin is at
Rochellaife, with his domeflicks.
Foreign Intelligence.
U TR E C H T, March 3.
LEI TERS from the Hague, dated the 2d of
this month, and which are very different
from those we last received, confirm the sup
positions we formed concerning our differ
ences with the Emperor. These letters inform us,
that a Courier is arrived at Vienna, who brings intel
ligence that Joseph 11. refufes to renew the negociati
ons. We do not know the nature of his demand ; but
it is probable that it is very great, and what the states
will never accede to. We therefore have reason still
to fay, that the German and Dutch soldiers will be
the only competent judges of the dispute between the
two nations.
