"WHEN ANGRY NATIONS PART IN LEAGUES OF PEACE, LET PRIVATE FEUDS AND CIVIL DISCORDS CEASE."
LONDON, (England) April 9.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, February 21. THE luxury of Pera increases every day. There are upwards of an hundred carriages with equipage suitable. Formerly the only amusements were a kind of pantomimes, rope dancing, and flight of hand, but now they have built a public theatre for the French comedie , and the Italian Opera, the decorations of which have been executed with great magnificence by the most ingenious Persian painters. The Mufti who regard such amusements with an eye of horror, have prohibited the Musselmen from being present at these theatres of the infidels, under severe penalties.
"A French nobleman is arrived here with a numerous train, and departs soon for Cherson. The anxiety and apprehensions of the Turks increase in proportion as the expected coronation of the Empress advances.—Can they, indeed, without emotion, behold two neighbouring powers surrounded by numerous troops, and within two days journey of the residence of the Grand Signior?
"The two imperial ministers, who reside at Pera, are about to leave that place, to be present at the interview between their respective sovereigns. The Divan have given orders to put the forts of Bender and Orzakof in a state of complete defence."
Another letter from Constantinople, dated two days later, says, that the Government preserve still a profound silence respecting all the transactions in Egypt, in Syria, Armenia Major, where Shiech Mansom is at the head of his numerous army, and in Albania, where the Governor Mahmaud-Pacha has rendered himself so powerful, as to bid defiance to the orders of the Divan. Fires are again become frequent. That in the environs of Galatz consumed upwards of 7000 houses. The discontent of the people at the indifference of Government to the Empress' journey, is said to occasion these tumults. Accordingly we hear that the Divan have come to a resolution to declare war against the Empress; and it is said that her Minister (according to the Turkish custom in such cases) is shut up in the Seven Towers. But it is to be added, that these reports are not confirmed on the best authority.
Extract of a letter from Naples, March 9.
According to letters received here from Constantinople, it is feared that the rupture so long foreseen, will at length break out. M. de Buthakow, the Russian Envoy, had announced to the Porte, his approaching departure for Crimea, to present his respects to his sovereign; but it was observed, that he had been preceded by all his equipages; to return no more. They add, that soon after, a person of note, sent by the Russian Ministry, arrived at Constantinople; and that after a conference, he had with the Reis Effendi, a Divan was held, and the next day another. The answer to be returned to the Cabinet of Peterburgh, was immediately sent off by an express, who took the route to Kiow. At the same time it was reported, that the Captain Bakhaw had been recalled in all haste from Egypt; that all the other Bakhaws had received orders to march with their troops towards the frontiers, and for the fleet to make the last disposition to enter the Black Sea."
So general is the practice of discounting at this time at the Bank, that it is said the company do not clear less by this branch of exchange only, than from 150,000. to 200,000. annually.
A lottery of 50,000 tickets, upon the same plan as that of the last year, makes part of the Minister's Budget for the present year, 1787, which will be produced after the Easter recess.
A correspondent believes the fact to be too
well known to justify him again in repeating it, that the Spaniards have by right no claim of authority over the inhabitants of the Musquito country; the ancestors of the present inhabitants flew from the murderous sword of the Spaniards under the command of Ferdinando Cortez in 1521, whose savage heart beat with infernal pleasure when he was surrounded by the slaughtered bodies of thousands of innocent men, and made the Musquito country their asylum, from whence by the aid of Heaven, their posterity have desired all the malicious efforts of Spain to expiate them.
In the circle of fashionable card parties, the Hon. Mrs. Hobard, this winter, has been the most successful player. This lady's winnings are, upon a moderate computation, estimated at one thousand guineas.—No bad thing after a contested election.
A Light-house is erecting on the Isle of May upon a plan which will be extremely useful to vessels which navigate on those coasts.
P E T E R S B U R G H, (Virginia) June 7.
The militia of this state, which consists of about 80,000 respectable husbandmen and artists, are now forming into a military establishment, under the regulations of that masterly production, Baron Stuben's Military Discipline. The commanding officers in the different counties are using every effort to arrange the militia on a permanent and respectable footing—and we have no doubt but that the Virginians, by an invincible spirit of liberty and genuine patriotism, will cultivate the art of war, and use of arms, and become a well-disciplined, brave and warlike people.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux, to his friend in this town, April 15.
"M de Calonne, comptroller-general of the finances, has suddenly received the king's order to deliver up his Porte Feuille , with injunctions not to absent himself from Versailles. He is the same minister who opened the assembly of notables with a remarkable long speech on the present state of the finances. It appears the notables have taken his conduct, as minister, into serious consideration, and find it not altogether irreproachable."
P H I L A D E L P H I A, June 20. The following is an exact list of the members of the CONVENTION.
His Excellency General Washington. His Excellency Benjamin Franklin, now President of Pennsylvania.
His Excellency William Livingston, now Governor of New Jersey.
His Excellency Edmund Randolph, now Governor of Virginia.
The honourable Thomas Mifflin, late President of Congress, now speaker of the assembly of Pennsylvania.
The honourable Nathaniel Gorham, late President of Congress.
The honourable John Dickenfon, late President of Pennsylvania, and Governor of Delaware.
The honourable John Rutledge, late Governor of South-Carolina.
The honourable Alexander Martin, late Governor of North Carolina.
The honourable George Walton, late Governor of Georgia.
The honourable Robert Morris, late superintendent of the finances of the United States.
The honourable Rufus King, Elbridge Gerry, W. Samuel Johnson, Oliver Ellsworth, Roger Sherman, Alexander Hamilton, John Lansing, jun. Abraham Clark, James Wilson, George Clymer, Jared Ingersol, Gouverneur Morris, Thomas Fitzsimmons, George Read, Gunning
Bedford, James Henry. John F. Mercer, Daniel Carroll, James Madison, George Wythe, Richard Dobbs Spaight, Hugh Williamson, Charles Pinckney, Pierce Butler, William Houston, William Few, William Peirce, William Churchill, Houston.—[These gentlemen have all been delegates in Congress.]
With the following respectable characters:
The honourable George Mason, brigadier-general C. C. Pinckney, Thomas Brearley, chief justice of New Jersey, William Richardson Davis, Caleb Strong, James Blair, James McClurg, Richard Bassett, Jacob Broom, Robert Yates, a judge of the supreme council New-York, William Paterson, Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer, Luther Martin, attorney-general Maryland.
By this very respectable delegation, ELEVEN States are represented. The delegates from the state of New-Hampshire, though appointed, have not yet made their appearance. Rhode Island is the only state in the union that has refused to take a seat at this honourable board of counsellors: but a very short period will unfold, whether her refusal will redound to her honour or disgrace.
Four things (says a correspondent) are necessary to spread and preserve good government in every country. 1. The regular administration of the ordinances of religion . 2. The regular, punctual, and free diffusion of knowledge by means of newspapers —The insurrections in Massachusetts Bay were occasioned in part, by the infamous stamp act of that commonwealth, which checked the circulation of newspapers, and thereby left the people exposed to the uncontradicted falsehoods of seditious demagogues. 3. Good roads . These by increasing and facilitating the trade and intercourse of distant parts of a country with its capital, tend to spread knowledge, and thus promote easy and quiet government. 4. A sameness of language . The Highlanders in Scotland have been easily governed ever since good roads were opened into their country, and English schools introduced among them. Many of them, once disaffected to the British government, by sharing in its power and officers, have become its brightest ornaments and support.
On Monday last arrived in this city a Chataw king, his lady, and a Chickasaw Captain, in company with Captain John Woods, appointed to see the articles of the treaty made at Hopewell Seneca, in the State of South-Carolina, by the representatives of their nations and the commissioners of the United States, ratified and made good.
James Thompson, George Heathcote and John Morgan, three of the persons charged with having piratically robbed the Spanish brig La Santissima Trinidad , Josef Zacarias de Ugarte, master, were on Monday last examined before the judge of admiralty, and committed to prison. Morgan made a full confession of the whole transaction, and gave testimony against Thompson and Heathcote. The quadrant, spy glass, and some of the wearing apparel described in the advertisement were found in the possession of Thompson and Heathcote, who had changed their names, Thompson calling himself James M'Calpin, and Heathcote going by the name of Robert Shaw.
We hear that the greatest unanimity subsists in the councils of the Federal Convention. It is to be hoped, says a correspondent, the united states will discover as much wisdom in receiving from them a suitable form of government to preserve the liberties of the people, as they did fortitude in defending them against the arbitrary and wicked attempts of Great-Britain. Nothing but union and a vigorous continental government can save us from destruction.

L O N D O N, April 20.
A most remarkable story is now current at Portsmouth, and which at the same time is told, upon what is called indisputable authority; that is the authority of the persons themselves—Dr. Meggs, a physician in considerable practice, had occasion to attend a family in the Isle of Wight.—Being detained until a late hour, he took a bed at the house; but after tumbling about for some hours, he rose, and rung up the servants—He told them he had tried in vain to sleep, but that his imagination was haunted with the idea that his wife and child was murdered. No persuasions could prevail on him to stay. He set off.—It was a blowing night, and it was with great difficulty that he could procure the boatmen to take him over. He however arrived, and knocked at his door. His wife opened it. He eagerly enquired if all was well—if the child was safe—and why she had opened the door? She said the child was perfectly well; and she had opened the door because the servants would not come—they had behaved very impertinently to her.—He called one of them, and questioned her as to her conduct. She gave him some pert answers, but at length falling on her knees, she said that he had come home providentially, for she and her fellow servant had resolved to murder their mistress and the child, that they might plunder the house. The servant made the same confession in the morning, upon oath, before a magistrate.
Capt. Sidney Smith embarked in the Carysfort, destined for Gibraltar, in order to make an experiment of a machine that he hath invented, to work the pumps by the progressive motion of the ship, without the assistance of the crew; two men will be sufficient to conduct the machine which regulates the operation.
N E W - Y O R K, June 23.
C O P P E R S.
The legislature of the state having ordered, that after the first of August coppers shall pass at twenty for a shilling; and as the operation of this act begins already to create many difficulties and inconveniences in trade, it is presumed these inconveniences may be in some measure removed by depreciating their value gradually:—it is therefore recommended to the public to give and take coppers at 15 for a shilling from this day till Monday 25th June;—16 for a shilling from thence till Monday 2d July;—17 for a shilling from thence till Monday 9th July;—18 for a shilling from thence till Monday 16th July;—19 for a shilling from thence till Monday 23d July;—and 20 for a shilling from thence forward, according to law.
We learn from New Jersey, that the Hessian Fly has found its way into that state, and made such melancholy ravages in the wheat fields, as to cause the present year's crops to fall short, some nearly half, and others will not produce more than the seed sown.
It affords us a peculiar satisfaction to be able to inform the public, that the paper emission of this state is universally received upon a par with gold or silver, in large or small quantities; and the bank in this city, receive it in the same manner.—The New Jersey bills of 1786, also pass current, upon the face of the bill, and even those of 1783 are not rejected at the same rate.
Letters from Ostend inform us, that the emperor has laid a considerable impost upon rice and tobacco, the produce of the United States, not immediately imported from America.—While the other European powers seem disposed to throw every obstacle in the way of our trade, it must be highly agreeable, as well as advantageous, to receive this mark of favour and consideration from so illustrious a monarch.
By a gentleman from Port-au-Prince we learn, that a great number of American vessels are at that place taking in molasses and taffia, but are so narrowly watched by the French officers of the customs, as to render the smuggling of sugar and coffee wholly impracticable. Added to this, a French man of war, purposely stationed there, is obliged to see them clear of the port, the commander of which never fails to search them.
N O R T H A M P T O N, June 26.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lanesboro' to his friend in this town, dated June 18, 1787.
"On the night of the 13th instant, a little before day-break, I was surprised by a very rude noise at my door, being found in sleep when it commenced—and before I had really come to my senses, I found my bed surrounded by three or four ruffians, with guns and bayonets. They immediately demanded a candle—I offered to arise and get one, but was forbid stirring on penalty of instant death. My wife finally obtained liberty to arise and procure a candle; but before this, one of the villains found way and had introduced himself into the chamber where my hired man (one Lion) slept;—he proceeded to
the bed, and with a very austere voice exclaimed, who are you for? Lincoln , replied the man: the consequence of this answer from the innocent man, was the reception of a few severe blows with a musket, though he did not get very badly hurt. The villains soon introduced a candle into the chamber, and after plundering a chest, which they broke open, they proceeded down stairs, bringing their prisoner with them. They immediately began searching the lower room, and after pillaging what they pleased, began to think of making their escape. My apprentice, who happened to be out that night, and coming home in the midst of the fray, was not discovered by their sentry till he had got quite to the house, when he immediately hailed him; the lad being surprised at such an abrupt and sudden challenge, did not give an immediate answer; the sentry upon this, fired at him: the contents of the piece passed about 2 1/2 feet from his head and entered a log of my house—I have since extracted the charge, and find it to contain one buck shot, and one ball of an enormous size. Previous to their departure, they extorted from me, my hired man and apprentice, an oath, not to reveal the transactions of the night nor espouse the cause of government any more; and also to repair to their head-quarters whenever they should call for us—and in consequence of my breaking the oath, they would pay me another visit, burn my house, and execute a scene of bloodshed upon me. However, I paid little regard to their injunctions, and soon disclosed the matter, after their departure. My loss of property is very considerable—I shall not attempt to enumerate the articles, but it consists principally in cloathing."
On Thursday last Jason Permenter and Henry M'Culloch, had like to have been hanged.
We hear from Lanesborough, that parties of the Insurgents still continue the depredatory war against the peaceable good citizens of that town and its vicinity—notwithstanding the late lenient measures respecting them.
B O S T O N, July 5.
We are informed, by a gentleman of this town, who left Lake Champlain the 18th ult. that the British have fitted out the ship Maria, of 20 guns, in order to cruise on that Lake, that she was three miles from the line, within our territories, when he came away from thence; that she had taken one vessel (said to have been on the smuggling business) belonging to the United States; and that the British were also fitting out a gun-boat, which was to accompany the Maria, in cruising on the Lake. This ship, it is said, was taken from us during the late war.
We are also informed, by the same gentleman, that Lord Dorchester, Governor of Quebec, lately issued a proclamation, containing orders for putting the militia of that province on the best establishment possible; and that six regiments were certainly coming from England, said to be a relief for the troops now stationed at the different posts in Canada.
The regulation of the militia of Vermont has been lately undertaken, and it is said, will soon be upon a very respectable footing.
Pursuant to the constitution, the two houses of legislature Wednesday assembled in convention for the purpose of choosing delegates to Congress for the ensuing year, when the following gentlemen were elected, viz.
Honorable Theodore Sedgwick, Nathan Dane, Samuel A. Otis, George Thatcher, Esquires.
Wednesday the committee of the house of representatives, appointed to consider a suitable place to remove the General Court, reported that Concord was a suitable place for that purpose; which report, after some debate, was rejected; and a committee was appointed to consider of the removal of the General Court, to a more convenient place, either within the town of Boston, or elsewhere.
P O R T S M O U T H, July 7.
Last Wednesday being the ever memorable anniversary of American independence, the Independent company of Light-Horse, commanded by Col. Michael Wentworth, assembled on the parade, and after receiving their Standard with the proper ceremony, performed a number of manœuvres to the general satisfaction of the spectators. At one o'clock left the town and proceeded to Knight's ferry, where they were met by a number of respectable gentlemen of the town, who jointly partook of an elegant entertainment provided for them.—After dinner the following toasts were drank, viz.
1st. The American States. 2d. The Federal Convention, may their proceedings be dictated by wisdom, and may each State have virtue to adopt their plans.
3d. His Excellency General Washington, may his wisdom in the Cabinet be as conspicuous as his valour in the field.
4th. His most Christian Majesty the King of France.
5th. His Excellency President Sullivan.
6th. Our Ambassadors abroad.
7th. The Marquis la Fayette.
8th. May the enemies to justice never have a seat in the Councils of America.
9th. Peace, liberty and happiness to all mankind.
10th. May Arts, Commerce and Agriculture ever flourish in America.
11th. May unanimity and justice be restored to the Courts of New Hampshire.
12th. May idleness and luxury be extinct, and industry and economy be built on their ruins.
13th. May the memory of this anniversary be ever dear to Americans.
We hear that his Excellency the late President Langdon, will leave this town on Monday, to join the Federal Convention. The prayers of the good will follow this disinterested patriot, who, when the public treasury was incapable of furnishing supplies, generously offered to bear the expence of himself and colleague on this important mission.
On Monday the 25th ult. the inhabitants in the upper part of this State were greatly alarmed by a violent gust of wind, which did them considerable damage, by blowing down their fences and tearing up large trees by the roots, the falling of which killed a number of cattle; it is said their crops are considerably injured in general by the same.
A number of respectable and patriotic characters met last Wednesday at the Coffee House tavern, in this town, and testified their usual joy on the anniversary of the American Independence, and after partaking of a splendid entertainment, drank a number of patriotick toasts, which the want of room obliges us to omit.
Last Wednesday arrived here the brig Betsey, Capt. Hall, in 53 days from Nantz, spoke the brig Adventure, Isaac Pritchard, master, latitude 45—26, longitude 24—28, from Liverpool, bound to Boston,—all well. In latitude 44—39, longitude 33—29, spoke the ship Margaretta, William Rogers, master, bound to Baltimore, all well.
On Saturday last, the General Court of this State finished their session at Concord, and adjourned to meet on the second Wednesday in September next at Charlestown.
At the late session of the General Court, a bill was brought in for a new excise revenue, viz — That from and after 1st day of October next, there be paid on every gallon Madeira Wine, - 1/.   On every gallon of other Wine, - - - 8d.  On every gallon of West-Rum, - - - 8d.  On every gallon of New-England Rum, - - 6d.  On every gallon of other distilled spirits, - 8d.  On every gallon of imported malt liquor, - 4d.  On every box of Lemmons, - - - - 4/.  On every hundred of Limes, - - - - 3d.  On every lb. of Bohea Tea, - - - - 4d.  On every lb. of other India Teas, - - - 8d.  On every lb. Foreign Cheese, - - - - 4d.  On every lb. of Coffee, - - - - 1d.  On every lb. of Chocolate manufactured } out of this State, - - - - 1d.  On every lb. of imported Snuff, - - - 8d.  And on every lb. of imported Tobacco, - 4d.   After several warm debates upon the propriety of passing a bill of this kind, it having been read a third time, and just at the close of the session, the yeas and nays were called by Mr. Pickering, when there appeared to be 23 for its passing, and 17 against it, but there not being a majority of the house present, therefore the motion was lost.
The Hon. Benjamin West, Esq. is appointed to represent this State in Congress, for the term of one year, from and after the first Monday in October next, in the room of the Hon. Benjamin Bellows, Esq. and is authorized with the Honorable John Langdon, John Pickering and Nicholas Gilman, Esquires, to represent this State in the Grand Federal Convention now sitting in Philadelphia.
Died since our last, Mrs. Hannah Sherburne, aged 81, widow of the late Mr. Ephraim Sherburne, of this town.
