THE ceffi^ of Corsica to Sardinian ^bicb bis been
Jo long in agitation, is at left come' to nothing,
and that barren ifand, ivbicb coJi France so ?nucb, is
no<w become an useless burthen to that crown; The
f r f febeme of Cboifeul, by offering that ijland to the
King of Sardinia, was to exchange it Jor feme pro
vinces in Savoy. At the treaty of Aix la Chapelle, in
the year 1748, when the French gave up Cbamberry,
the capital of Savoy, they, in order to preserve the title
of conquerors, kept ten parifoes of the province ad
jacent to Dauphine. This bas occasioned great confu
fon, and bred many disputes and law-faits between the
Lords of Savoy and tbofe oj Dauphine, the whole
neighbourhood plagued, and both France and Sardinia
wearied with complaints,fo that in order to avoid tbefe
troubles, Cboifeul proposed to cede to France that part
of Savo, from Mortemelia to the river Ifere and to
Grenoble, This treat, the Kit. of Sardinia was read,
toenter into, had it not been Jor the Marquis of Aigue
blanque, his prime minister, who difeovered the design,
which was that of laying the kingdom upon to a trcc
bkfome neighbour, that is not accounted very fri& in
observing treaties. The King, convinced of this, delayed
the treaty, and Cboifeul, in order to get rid of Corjica
at an, rate, and to force Sardinia to an alliance with
France, bas offered another proposal fill mor disadvan
tageous to Sardinia than the former, the particulars of
which are notyet publicity known, which raising great
suspicion at Turin, was the cause of changing the
whole ffem there, and of entering into a treat, with
Great-Britain and Prussia which has been the occafan
of so many couriers pacing between the Courts of Ber
lin and Turin.
Constantinople, (the capital of Turkey) Sept. 27.
The Chevalier Tott has presented a plan to the Divan
to render the Ottoman Forte asflourifbing as an, of the
Christian fates in Europe ; which could eafil, be acquir
ed by granting a free toleration and extreme of all
religions, and allowing them an equal civil right with
the Mahometans. He proves in bis memorial, that all
the JiouriJbing fates inEurope, Holland and England in
particular, owe alltbeir profperit, to the policy of grant
ing a liberty of civil and religious conscience. He Jets
forth, that by infituting such a law in so extensive
an empire as the Ottoman, be would engage his life, that
withe course of three,ears, above 100,000 Christian
fubjedts, in order to Jbake off theyoke oj their refteci rue
tyrannical sovereigns, would imigrate to Turkey ; the
consequence of which would be, that all arts, feiences,
commerce, navigation, and art of war, will arrive
to the fame degree in the Ottoman empire as in any of
the Cbrifian fates. The Chevalier projected to the
Divan likewise, that as a check for Russia, the best
policy would be to grant a free navigation in the Black
Sea to all other nations, in the fame manner as it is
granted to Russia by the late treat, of peace ; and as
we are informed by good authority, both the above
proposals are under a serious consideration at the
Divan; and as the prefect Grand Mufti is more
politick than religious, there are great hopes that the
Chevalier's project will pass for a law, which will
cause a great civilization in the vaf Ottoman domi
nions.
Although the terms of peace seem to befriHl, adhered
to, it isfuppofed that it will not be of ver, long dura
tion ;and our politicians call the present peace a third
armifice between the Porte and Russia.

rally and justly lamented.
Mr. Wilkes is still in a very poor way; he had a flight
touch of the pally on Tuesday, and two physicians attended
him, who gave him the best assistance in their power, con
sistent with his present situation : They allowed him to

and attention. In consequence of which he rode in the
procession with one fide wrapped up in flannels, and left
Guildhall very early in the evening.

Dornock, &c.
A storm is gathering in a freffi quarter on the continent:
The late treaties between Russia and Hungary, are a con
vincing proof of the instability of foreign faith and the
most ardent promises.
Upon a late survey at the Tower it appears, that
there have been delivered into his Majesty's ordnance
at that place upwards of 60,000 muskets, in the
course of the last two years, which is a greater num
ber than ever there was a demand for before in so
Short a time in peace.
Very large betts are depending, that we shall have
occasion for fifty fail of the line to be on a&ual duty
before the month of April. There have been coined

We hearthat amongst the many regulations intended
by a Great Personage to co-operate with the new
Parliament, is the following : “ That no man what
soever shall enjoy at a time more than one civil or

ititutional regulation, the ambition and avarice of
thole who are now adding place to place, and sinecure
to sinecure, will be cropped.

that the American a&s will be totally repealed by
New-year's day next.

his feat at Port-Down, in Hampshire, Peter Taylor,
Esq; member in the present Parliament for Ports
mouth..
Nov. 15. Preparations are making at Lord Bute's
house in South Audley-ftreet, as his Lordship sets
out the beginning of next month for the South of
France.
Some people seem very confident in faying that
Lord Mansfield will soon resign his high office, on
account that the duty is so much as to impair his
health.
The Quakers in Pennsylvania, much alarmed at the
present diffracted Proceedings of the Colonies, in
the Opposition making to the Authority of the
Parliament of Great -Britain, forefee the moss fatal
Consequences both to themselves and the Parent
Country, have thought it neceflary to address their
Brethren in the adjacent Provinces, and have
published the following Epistle, declaring their
Disapprobation of the Measures prosecuting for
obtaining Redress, and earnestly requeuing all of
their Communion to avoid joining in fach Measures
as are totally inconfiffent with their religious
Principles.
An Epistle from the Meeting for Sufferings,
Held in Philadelphia, for Pennsylvania and New-
Jersey, the sth Day of the firft Month, 1775.
To our Friends and Brethren, in tbefe and the
adjacent Provinces.
Dear Friends,
DURING the troubles and commotions which
have prevailed, and dill continue in this once
peaceful land, much seasonable and weighty advice
hath been frequently communicated, and particularly
by our late Yearly-Meeting, exhorting Friends in
every part of their conduct, to a& agreeable to the
peaceable principles and testimony we profefs ; which
we fervently desire may be duly attended to, and put
in practice ; yet as some public resolves have been
lately entered into, witli concurrence and approbation
of tome members of our religious society, the nature
and tendency of which are evidently contrary to our
religious principles, our minds have been deeply
affe&ed with affliction and sorrow, and we have in
much affection and brotherly love, been engaged to
use our endeavours to convince these our brethren of
their deviation ; in the difeharge of which duty, so
far as we have proceeded, we have had the evidence
of peace.
And, dear Friends, we are now constrained in the
renewings of true love, to intreat and exhort all,
with humility and reverence, to bear in mind, that
our real welfare and preferyation on the foundation
of our religious fellowlhip and communion, depends
A few days since a man of fortune challenged a
gentleman in low circumstances to give him a chance to
make the amends honourable for a supposed affront,
and received the following answer to the challenge;.
" Sir, you have a large fortune and no family ; I have
a large family, and no fortune : now, Sir, if you
will fettle the half of your fortune on my children,
we Shall ' fight on equal terms, and I Shall do my best
endeavours to cut your throat."
liifhu&ions were lent a few days; since to our
ambassador at Paris, to request the French ministry,
to take proper methods for preventing the Ships.and
vessels of that nation carrying on a contraband trade
in any of the ports in America.
Last week large quantities of falt-petre were deli
vered from the tower to the matters of the powder
mills, who are under central for government Service.

declare that we never gave our consent towards chafing
that Committee, or making any resolves : As we utterly

it is our firm fefylution to continue peaceable and faithful

and interposition we hope to obtain the wished for redress
of our grievances, in a constitutional way.

holders, and the others very refpedable inhabitants, all
within the township of Jamaica,
These are the three or four people who oppbfed their
chufing a Committee! Jan. 27, 1775.
As divers members of our religious society, some
of them without their consent or knowledge, have
been lately nominated to attenti on and engage in
some public affairs, which they cannot undertake,
without deviating from these our religious principles ;
we therefore earnestly beseech Ind advise them, and
all others, to confider the end and purpose of every
measure to which they are desired to become parties,
and with great circumfpfflion and care to guard
against joining in any for the asserting and maintaining
our rights anddiixrties, which ommatuLe deliberation,
appear not to be dialed by that "Wifd^n which
is from above ; which is pure, peaceable, gentle, and
full of mercy and gooff, fruits,',, «,Jamesjii, 16."

of offence ; or for having ever been concerned in any
kind of conspiracies, or combinations against the
' government under which they lived;. :
" .Should any now so far deviate fipm their example,

TO BE SOLD,
By the fubferiber, at private file, the following houses
and lots of land, in Princeton, in the Province of
New-Jersey.
rW°'HE house the fubferiber now
# A lives in, built of &one, and
two florins high, in length 53 feet,
f O Oi9 O and 3° in breadth ; there are on
I —a —A — m rathe firft floor five rooms, with a
afire place in every room, one of
I IO O & B IBwhich was formed for a store, and
te^^rf=Bo^W is excellently adapted for that pur
'pofe, being 18 feet in front, and
30 feet in depth. The second
floor contains fix rooms, with fire places in three of them.
A commodious cellar runs under the greater part of the
building, and a large convenient garret over the whole.
This house may easily be converted into two diflina tene
ments, A kitchen 22 feet long and 16 wide; a negro
houfe, a well, a garden, and convenient yard. A barn,
a stable, and ,a chair- house under one roof, 50 feet long
and 20 wide, fixed on stone pedestals, and covered and
inclofed with cedar.
A brick house, two stories high, two rooms on the
firft floor, and three on the second ; a good garret, and a
cellar-kitchen, that extends under the whole house. To
this belongs a lot containing one acre of land.
A small frame house, with a well and garden. Forty
eight acres of good, cleared, and well improved land ad
joining the said town. The land is divided into four
fields, in proper sense ; 12 acres of which is meadow,
yielding yearly about 12 tons of hay, chiefly clover and
spear-grass. The rest of the land is equally good for
pasture or tillage. A constant stream of water runs
through the meadow-ground, which may, at little- ex
pence, be so turned, as to wash and fertilize every part
of it.
Little need be said of a village so well known as
Princeton, situated about mid-way between the cities of
New-York and Philadelphia, and in the heart of a fertile
thriving country, its advantages in point of trade mull
necessarily be many and great. This cannot fail of
recommending it to traders. Nor is it lpfs inviting,to
persons fond of an elegant retreat, or of having their
children pass through a course of education under their
own immediate care and infpeaion. Princetori is seated
on a beautiful eminence, commanding an exten five 'prof
ped, and so remarkably healthful, that several gentle
men, perhaps on that account chiefly, have made choice
of it as the place of their abode. Surrounded too by an
agreeable set of neighhours, it has every requisite to
render retirement easy and delightful. The stone house
already described, confining of several apartments, and
being within an hundred yards of the college, would
suit extremely a person disposed to let lodgings and take
in boarders. The purchaser of the whple, or of any
part of the premises, must pay down one half of the
purchase money ; for the other half easy payments will
be given. The title is unquestionable.
The fubferiber hath for sale, an assortment of DRY
GOODS, which he will dispose of at a low rate for caih,
country produce, or ihort credit. Also a Negro man and
two Negro boys.
The fubferiber requests all persons indebted to him on
bond, note, or book account, to make immediate pay
ment. He is desirous of quitting business, and closing
his affairs. To pay those to whom he is indebted, it is
neceflary that those ihould firft pay who are indebted to
him,
RICHARD PATERSON.
And dear Friends,
In a degree of that divine love which unites in chrif
tian communion and fellowship, we tenderly salute
you, defining that we may more diligently press after,
and seek for an ebablifhment on that rock, againtt
which the gates of bell shall never prevail, that we
may be supported fteadfaft, when storms and tempests,
which for tl>e trial of our faith, and the more
thoroughly purging us from those things which are
of a defiling, nature, are permitted ; for the Lord,
whom we desire to serve, tenderly regards his depend
ing children, andall his chastisements are in mercy
directed to redeem and preserve them from evil.
