As the Emperor, Joseph, is one of the most con
siderable Princes in Europe, and likely to be the
firft, in point of military character, the following
rife of his family is exira—ed from Howell's Famili
ar Letters:—
" Ihe Earl of Hapfburgh, a German Prince, hav
ing been one day hunting, he overtook a priest who
had been with the sacrament to visit a poor lick pef
fon; the priest being tiled, the earl lighted off his
horse, helped up the priest, and so waited on him a

The priest, at his going away, gave him his bene

A few days ago two reprobate watermen that were
waiting at Billinfgate, for the coming up of a filh
boat, laid a Kvager of their boats which of them could
swear the most wicked and prophane oaths, but up
on one of them giving up, the other beginning to tri

The petition presented by the American Loyalists
to his Britannic Majesty is likely to have the desired
effeft; his Majesty has warmly interested himfelf in
their behalf, and a very liberal sum will be voted by
parliament for their relief, in the mean time the in
vestigation of their different claims is recommended
by his Majesty to be taken up without farther delay.
By letters from the island of Grenada we learn,
that on Monday the 6th of June put in there, in
consequence of having sprung a leak, an American
ship, called the Grand Turk, Jonathan lugerfal, matter,
from the Cape of Good Hope. At her departure,
which was on the 13th April, there were lying at
the Cape the Cygnet Sloop of War, the ship Britan
nia, and the Packet, in which general Sloper went
passenger, all bound to the East-Indies. Captain In
gerfal, on his passage, fell in with the ship Befbo
rough, captain Montgomery, from Bengal, and the
ship Calcutta, captain Fhompfon, from China, which
last was so leaky that he kept company with her, in
order to save the crew, in case she had foundered,
which she momently- expe&ed, and saw her fife into
St. Helena. Those ships brought an account that
every thing was perfectly quiet in the East-Indies.
By the brigantine Mercury, captain Innes, arrived
daft Monday night in eight weeks from London, we
have the following particulars. This vessel is an A
merican bottom; the insurance on remittances sent
from hence by the Antelope Packet, captain Kemp
thorne, were in general saved to the fllippers from
the fafe arrival of the specie at the Bank in London.
In consequence of Mr. Pitt's fuccefsful motions in
favour of the American Loyalists, a State-Lottery is
to take effect in Great- Britain, the profits of which
are to be applied to gentlemen under that descrip
tion.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) August 4.
The Charleston chamber of commerce, having re

water, but by leaning over the fide of the vessel too
much, he accidentally fell into the river and was

TRENTO N, August 29.
From a Boflon pa,er cue have extracted the following
paragraph :
" While the felfifh politics of the Butean faction are
hurrying on to deftrUCtion an infatuated nation, with
whom, if we consult our real interejl, we never shall
have any future commercial or other connection ; it
cannot but afford the most heart-felt Satisfaction to eve
ry American, and to every Frenchman, that the bonds
of union are in the faireft way to be Strengthened, con
tinued and confirmed, between this country and
France: For we have the most authentick and indis
putable account, that, that most excellent noblem ui
'and warm friend to America in general, and of the
New-England Rates in particular, the Marquis de la
Fayette, hath so Readily interested himfelf in our be
half, that he has procured our great and magnanimous
Ally totally to remit or take off the duty of 20 per
cent, payable on foreign oil from all such oil as shall
hereafter be sent from any of the United States to
France. And the provider of oil for lighting the city
of Paris and all other cities of France, as well as the
loyal navy, has sent over, thro' the medium of the
Marquis, proposals for receiving at Nantz, Bourdeaux
and Havre de Grace, 16,000 quintals or 8000 barrels
of our fpermac&ti oil the next year; to be paid for in
any commodities of the growth, manufacture or pro
duce of France, at the current price, of which there
are, weekly bills regularly published in all the towns
and lea-ports of that kingdom. If any difference
fliould arise, the fame is to be fettled by fix arbitra
tors, three Frenchmen and three Americans, who in
case of difafreement may call in a Seventh. A compa
ny bf very refpedable merchants in this Rate are now
forming to accept these proposals, and to carry this well
concerted plan into execution, whereby France will be
enabled to furnifh us with her manufactures, on terms
infinitely superior to any we can expect from our old
rancorous Rip-mother, Great-Britain."
A few days since fat out from Philadelphia for Fort-
Pitt, Thomas Hutchins, Lfq. Geographer to the Uni
ted States, and Surveyor-General of the lands ceded
by Great-Britain to the United States, from whence
he proceeds with his deputies to survey and lay off the
lands, agreeable to the inßruCtions of Cpngrefs.
Tuesday evening fennight upwards of one thousand
weight of Rock-l'ifh were caught at one haul, in the
Delaware, near this town. Some of these fifh
iweighed near thirty pounds a piece, and generally
Ifrom eight to twenty.
Three Pounds Reward.
KAN away on the night of the 21st instant, two ne
- gro men, one named SAM, 22 years of age, five
feet ii inches high, a large boned spare fellow, of a
I thin visage, small head and large feet; had on a yel-
Ilow cloth coat, brown waißcbat and breeches, and
Ihas a very wide remarkable walk.

feet 6 inches high, Rout made; had on a whitish coat",
brown waistcoat and breeches, linen dockings, and
new shoes, is very black and has red gums, which,
as he laughs much, he frequently thews. They took
other cloths with them, and may change their dress.
It is supposed they were persuaded away by an Irilh
lad who conducted them to Quaker-Town, where
they were apprehended on the 24th inst. The Irish
man was detained, but the negroes produced certifi
cates of their being free, and were liberated. Any
person who will return them to the owner, living in
the township of New-Windsor, and county of Middle
sex, near the great road leading from Bordentown to
New-York, or secure them in gaol, so that the own,
er may get them again, shall have the above reward,
or a proportionable part for either of them, and rea
sonable charges, paid by JAMES HEPBURN^

RAN away from the subscriber, on the 18th of thil

his cloths, and is lurking in some part of Sussex in

at PUBLICK VENDUE,
On Tuesday the 20th day of September, at ten o'clock
in the forenoon, on the premises,
A DISTILLE R Y,
LATELY erected in the city of New-Brunswick, in
the Rate of New-Jersey, conveniently situated for
the distillation of rum or any other Spirituous liquors;
on a constant stream of running water fufficient to
supply the works without the expence of pumping:
One copper Rill that holds 150 gallons, with worm,
tub, &c. are fixed fit for immediate working, and
room for fixing another Rill of any size, with a num
ber of cisterns and other vessels, all new.
As these works are not compleated, the purchaser
may finifh them to his own taste; the situation is;
perhaps, preferable to most others for this business,
as fire-wood and house-rent are very reasonable; and
the consumption for rum and other spirits, very consi
derable, For particulars enquire of Colonel Azariah
Dunham, New-Brunswick, or
SAMUEL HAY.
No. 86, William-Street.
N. B. The mode of payment, of the whole or part
of the purchase-money, will be made easy to the pur
