He was a man of great personal
accomplishments,and of extraordinary
talents, either for the drawing-room,,
the cabinet, or the field : He was pof
fefTed of much penetration and dupli
city—nor was he less remarkable for
an insinuating address : He made an
astonishing revolution in the govern
ment of the country, in one hour—by
which he transferred the power of the
ariflocracy into his own hands,& ren
dered himfelf absolute: —In Short, be
was the only King in Europe, of splendid
abilities —yet while we admire him for
them, we must lament that he was a
despot—one who thought the, happi
ness or even the lives, of millions
fhoeld be facrificed to feed the vanity
or profligacy of Kings.
About the time that his Majesty's
wounds were pronounced to be mor
tal,he changed his mind with refpeft
to the Regency, and vested the whole
of the authority in his brother the Duke
of Suder mania. ....
^The young-King who was instantly
on his father's death proclaimed Gus.,
tavus the iVth, King of Sweden, is
only fourteen yea r s old, but he has
difeovered great and promising abili
ties, from which it was expected that
in a few years he will distinguish him
felf more than his father, and we hope
to a very different purpose.
As yet no men of high authority in
the Kingdom are found to have had
any (hare in the plot—they are chiefly
young men—all noble indeed, but
noblemen of desperate fortune —whe-
ther they were only put forward, and
that they will not impeach their more
powerful accomplices we know not.
LONDON, April 14.
LAS r night, about ten o'clock,let
ters were received at the Secre
tary of State's office, from Robert Lif
ton,Efq. the British Envoy at theSwe
di(h Court, Rating that the King o f
Sweden,died on the 29th oflaft month.
The greatett part of the Rugs had
been extracted, and appearances indi
cating a recovery were visible for about
a week after he was wounded. But
part of a rutty nail and. some small
pieces of iron had penetrated where
it was dangerous and difficult to fol
low them —the surgeons concluded, at
one time that the whole shot was ex
traded, and that the pains were only
in confequer.ee of the unhealed foies ;
but,foon after they had flattered them
selves with a perfed recovery, they
perceived symptoms of a mortificati
on, nor could they remove the cause.
His Majesty apprized of his dissolu
tion several days before it took place
he bore the tidings of his doom with
the most heroic fortitude and resigna
tion ; he regained all his mental facul
ties until the lift, and gave orders a
bout the arrangements of the Govern
ment, and their important affairs,
with a 3 much composure and wisdom
23 ever he could have done in his most
happy moments —and after fullering
(he moll excruciating tortures for 12
days, he expired.
Thus has fallen, in the 45th year,
by the hands of an affaffin,G ust a vus
the Fir. of Hof ein-Gottcrp, King of
Sweden, who was to have headed ar
mies against the dawning Liberty of
France. <..:..;.• • ~

«' IT is with extreme pleasure that I
have the honor to inform you,that the
House of Commons,where I passed the
whole night, have determined that
the Slave Trade shall be abolifhed^
“ The friends of the Blacks, with
Mr Fox, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. Wilber

mediate abolition, but they loft this
motion by a majority of 193 against
125— -and the House poffponed to an
other day the question for fixing the
period of the abolition —but the great
feflion, that the trade shall be abo

LETTER
<< P. S. Have the goodness to fend
this letter, when you have read it, to
my refyedable friend,M.laßochefou--
cauld, begging him to fend it to the
worthy Petion," 1 #
Such were the terms in which Lord
Stanhope communicated this great
triumph of feelicgand justice to his
friend Condorcet —and the following
is M. Condorcet's observations on the
event,.. °
" Thus when Mirabeau desired to
propose to the Couftituent Assembly
to concert this law with theEnglifh na
tion— a law commanded by humanity
and justice—when intrigue drove him
from the Tribune —when a corrupted
cabal Rifled his voice—it was not s a
philosophical chimera which he pro
poled ! Thus within the space of 15
days, the friends of the Blacks have
seen the Raprefentatives of two great
nations confound the calumnies of
their detractors, and the fophilm of
the enemies to universal liberty !—
Thus the moment is come, when eve
ry year, every day will be marked by
the deftrudion of a prejudice—when
one, at lead, of the chains of human
kind will fail off!
Ah ! who is the man so loft to the
sentiments of nature, whose heart does
not find in these triumphs, consolati
on against the injustice of weak men,
and the hatred of the facellites of ty
ranny !"
„M. Briffot, in announcing this glo
rious conquest over insane and debas
ing prejudices, fays—" The enemies
of humanity will not fail to assert that
this is a trap, made by s°° cities an d
communities, and supported by 100,
000 English citizens, to catch and
deceive the French people."
fifhed, was carried, by 2 very great
majority, 230 against 85.— You will
not fail in France, I hope to follow the
example of Denmark, and England,
and ihew thereby, that you deserve to
be free yourselves. We touch, at
length, the glorious moment, when
philosophy and -reason make justice
triumph every where, and when the
friends of the rights of men will over
throw alLabufes and all tyrannies.—
Permit me to congratulate jou on the
news which I fend you.
STANHOPE.

<< The. Emperor [of Morocco]
Yezid, having made a forced march,
and eluded the arniy commanded by
Ben Affar, pushed on to the city of
Morocco, where he arrived about the
second ofFebruary,but the gates being
shut against him, he attacked the
place, and carried it 'on the 6th,
where he committed the greatest
excesses, and once more gave up the
devoted Jews to plunder: many friends
as well as enemies fuffered from the
rapacity of the army. On the 12th,
Muley Ifhem reached the plains of
Morrocco, with a considerable army,
said to consist of 30,000 men, where
the Emperor, with about half that
number, met them, and after an en
gagement which continued from ten
till two o'clock obtained the vidory.
Os Item's army thirteen hundred
were killed, and eight hundred taken
prisoners, some dispersed themselves,
but the greatest part retreated towards
Jaffe. The Emperor's loss was in
considerable, but he was himfelf.

the prifoacra to death, not one of
whom did he pardon. He ordered
them to be nailed up against the walls,
and upon the floors where they hap
pened to be, and be prohibited all
persons from administering any kind
of relief to them. He also put to
death, without any apparent caafe*
two chriftians who had been several
years employed by his father as Rone
cutters, and two Frenchmen who had
passed into the country from Ceuta.
In ihort, from the 12 to the 16 such

in Morocco, has seldom been heard
of. On the 161 b, however, it pleased
heaven to put an end to it, for on that

" Slema, (or rather Selima,) who
I think will govern at lalt in the
kingdom of Fex, has upon the whole,
an amiable character. He ishumane
and temperate, religious and fuperfti

a lover of. peace. He has declared
himfelf a friend to commerce, and an
enemy to every thing cruel and trea
cherous.. An Alciade who bad at
tached himfelf to the Emperor in a
distinguished manner, upon the death
of his matter, retired to his fanftuary,
but,Slema feat him a message, ap
plauding his condu&, telling him he
had nothing to fear, and expressing a

few such faithful adherents, as the Al

Emperor) caused to be put to death,

Whereas Henry Moore
of Chester, in the
State of New-Hampihire,
Esq. did on the 9th day of
May, 1778, by his Bond of
that date, oblige himfelf and
his heirs, to give unto John
Allen of Pembroke, but late
of Concord, Clerk,deceafed,
a good deed of five hundred
acres of Land in the town
fliip of Corinth, then in the
State ofNew-Yoik,but now
in the State of Vermont, for
the consideration of wnich,
the said Moore received the
deceafed's note for three
hundred pounds Paper Mo
ney, as for value received,
payable on the 9th day of
May, 1779, which was also
signed by the fubferiber,
(then a minor,) as the said
Moore's bond was never in
the fubferiber's keeping, or
hath he ever seen the fame
since his said Father's death,
but supposes it to be loft, or
left by the deceased at some
friend's house in this State;
and in as much as faidMoore
has since indorfed said note
to one Ricbardjon, who hath
filed the fubferiber for the
fame, altho' neither he, or
his deceafed's father, hath
ever received the least consi
deration for the said note,
exceptingfaid bond, Where
fore he earnestly requests all
his deceased father's friends,
to give notice of said bond,
if they know where the fame
may be had, found or pro
cured, to the intent that jus
tice may be obtained, and
for which a generous con
fideratioh shall be paid with
gratitude, by
