LONDON, MARCH 8.
ON the 2ift ult. the Turkish Am
bassador had his firft audience of
the King of Prussia, who received him
Handing under, a canopy near the
Throne, attended :by all the Princes,
Generals, ' and Miniflers of the Court.
After making three low- bows, he made
a speech in the Turkish language, and
delivered his credentials and presents
which were placed on a table covered
with crimson velvet. The latter con
fined of a large single stone brilliant
ring, in a case set with diamonds, for the
King : And an aigrett, containing a
leather of A Bird of Paradife fe: with
brilliants, for the Queen. The inter
preter explained the speech; after which
Count Finckenfiein, :in his Majesty's
name, made a reply, which was also
translated to the Ambassador, who mak
ing three low bows retired from the au
dience, and went to the House pre
pared for his residence.
Last Monday the daughter of Mr.
Nash, at Tenderden in Kent, a fine
girl about fix years of age, being put to
'bed, was heard to cry out and scream
very much. The mother, being greatly
alarmed, went to the bed, when she
found the child's face bit and torn in
a terrible manner. On turning down
the bed clothes, a large rat jumped out
of the bed ; but the door being (hut,
the rat was soon killed, The poor
child's face is so mangled and torn that
she lies dangerously ill.
KINGSTON, MARCH IQ.
On Thorfday last, the following
accident happened in this town:—
A hoard in the floor of a room ten feet
from the ground, suddenly gave way, as
the mistress of the house was walking on
it, and the fell through: Directly under
the place was a well thirty feet deep,
down which (he was also precipitated.
By rhe kind exertions of Mr. Latimer,
in whose neighbourhood the accident
haooened, life was very soon got out
again : Though the well was only three
feet in diameter, and the lady fell alto-

1)00 bushels on speculation, at 2s.

brought to Wifcaflet.
" I was only once atthe National Af
frmbly—Alcho this large cohesion of
the representatives of the people was a
scene entirely new in France—Al'hol
was highly gratified with a fight foin
terefting to humanity, to liberty, and to
the French nation, which I fincercly
efteem—lt yet fell short of my expectati
on. In such a large body of men it
was impossible to preserve a fufficicnt de
gree of order, except when some prin
cipal—some fbining patriot was on the
floor. Mr. Barnave spoke that day on
the affairs of the. Weft-Indies. This is
a young man about 27 years of age, but
whose intellectual faculties wouldbefpeak
a man of long lifeand experience.
When he spoke there was a general si
lence. Bet there is one more objection
to their proceedings, which is, that the
speakers are interrupted almost every
moment with the applause of the differ
ent parties and of the gallery. It is
more like a theatre in this refped than
a deliberate confultation.on the interests
of the state. Bravo; and clapping of
hands, and no, no, no, and hiding, are
repeated oftener in the galleries of the
National Assembly, and also among the
members, than at the theatre. For
these reasons I was not so well pleased
with the National Assembly, as with our
Congress. , I b^g pardon of the French
nation, but there was not half the dig
nity preserved in their National Assem
bly as there is in our. Congress."

JAMAICA.
By an arrival,yefterday, from Europe,
we received Englifli papers to April 4
They inform that Great-Britain was
making great preparations for WAR!
They commenced rin consequence of a
Message from the King, to the Parlia
ment, purporting, That his Majefly and
his allies had found their Mediation tine
qual to the purpose of effeaing a pacifica
tion between the Em,refs of Russia and
the Ottoman Porte, and that the progress
of the war threatened to difarb the tran
quillity and the interef of his Majefly, and
Allies in particular, and the neighbouring
po wersin general, his Majefly had thought
" necejary to make such a, augmentation
of his navy, as might prove likely to give
^"ght to his negotiations ;—The King
then aiks for adequate Applies, whicli
the Parliament promises to grant.
We are also informed, That General
Potemkin is really gone to Petersburg, it
is thought, to perfwade Catharine to pu(h
for the gates of Confantino, le,and not to
flop, until her General shall be able to
dilate terms of peace from that city.

WINCHESTER, may 7.;-
A French emigrant of note, who ar
rived in town on Friday last, in
eight days from Cailtappolis, on the Mi
ami, contradicts the report of Capt.
Guion being murdered as mentioned
in a former paper. Said Emigrant in

EXETER, (Friday) June 3.
The Hon. George Thatcher, Esq. is re-,
elected Representative to Congress for
the Diftria of Maine, by a majority of
sixty votes—after the fifth or sixth trial
of the inhabitants of a choice.
From some lace publications it would
appear that the United States have egre
giously erred in the form and adminis
tration of jheir national government,
and yet facts cbncradid all {peculations
upon this fubjedt.—Cur citizens arc
peaceable and happy—our laws are o
beyed, and such of our rulers as are
good men, are eve^y whe r e refpefled.—
Wny then fhculd treasonable whisper
be heard in favour of monarchial or
ariftocratreal government ?—The advo
cates for Kings and I,ords, as essential
parts of a ^cVernmen:, remind us of a
tyeech which was made during the late
war, by a Scorch Lieutenant, to a New-
England Captain, who became his pri
soner. " You are engaged (said the
Scotch officer) in' the molt extraordina
ry rebellion I ever heard of in my life.
You are all fighting, and yet have no
King to fight for." These deluded'peo
ple do not consider the dignity of hu
man nature, and that men were made
to inherit themselves, and not
to be conveyed by will or otherwise,
from father to son, as if they were of
no more value than black cattle.
A traveller arrived in this town, who
puffed through Little York (Pennsylva
nia) the beginning of this week, re
ports, that he met an express going to
Philadelphia, 1 who informed him, that
the town of Pirib ;rg had been burnt by
the Indians, tfhis is unconfirmed.'']
