ROME, September 27. LAST night some wicked persons having found means to conceal themselves in the Church of St. Charles at Catinari, belonging to the Barnabites, they stripped the image of the Holy Virgin there of all its pearls, gold rings, votive symbols, in silver, and other jewels, to the value of 500 crowns. Three doors which were found broken the next morning, in order to effect their escape shewed the robbery.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 10.
The preparations for war continue with activity; the Turkish Ministry seemed at first but little concerned at what had taken place in the Crimea, but, it is apparent, they now think differently in that respect. All depends on the answer which Russia makes to the offer of the mediation of the Court of France. If that mediation is refused, war will inevitably take place; the Turks cannot consent to the Russians occupation of the Crimea, which is considered as the barrier of the Ottoman empire.
DANTZICK, Sept. 27.
In consequence of the difference arisen between the Court of Berlin and the inhabitants of this City, the latter has been entirely blocked up for three days past. All communication is forbidden; and nothing is suffered to go out, except Prussian and Russian effects, those belonging to foreigners resident here, and the apparel of travellers. [ Dantzick, the capital of Royal Prussia, in the kingdom of Poland, is a very large city, and in some respects a sovereign state. It has a jurisdiction of 40 miles round the city. ]
L O N D O N,
October 18. A daily paper says, that they learn from undoubted authority, that the trial of Mons. le Comte de Grasse is put off sine die by a secret order of his Majesty the King of France: several circumstances, lately come to light, relative to the action of the unfortunate Admiral with Lord Rodney in the West Indies, having determined the French Cabinet to drop the curtain on the whole transaction.
October 20. Dr. Franklin has announced his intention of visiting England in the ensuing spring.—His motive for this excursion is to see his friends, and take his final leave of them, previous to his departure for America, in which country he is desirous that the remains of his earthly tabernacle should be deposited.
By some letters which were on Friday received from Ireland, we learn, that instructions had been prepared, which are to be delivered to the respective Members of Parliament by a deputation of the Volunteers. These instructions require the Members to vote for, and move the following objects:
A Parliamentary Reform.—An Absen-
tee Tax.—A Repeal of the Stamp Act.—An Irish Court of Admiralty and Post-Office.—Equal Duties on English Manufactures.—And a Six Months Money Bill, until these objects shall be obtained.
October 23. Ministry have experienced the impolicy and inefficacy of the Proclamation which prohibited a trade with the West India islands in American bottoms; and we have it from undoubted authority, that one of the first measures will be annulling this Proclamation.—Recanting an error is a sign of grace; but not to commit one is a mark of wisdom.
If the inhabitants of the West India islands were, in conformity to the Proclamation, not to admit the produce of the continent in American bottoms, the islands would be deprived of the very means of subsistence.
The quarrel between his Prussian Majesty and the inhabitants of the city of Dantzick originates in the latter claiming what is called the Right of Mart, and the Right of Staple. By the first they pretend that all vessels from foreign parts coming into the Vistula, shall dispose of their cargoes in that city. By the latter they claim the like privilege of monopolizing the cargoes of all vessels coming down the Vistula. In consequence of this the city of Dantzick in April last fitted out a number of armed cruisers to seize the Prussian vessels that supplied the towns of Old and New Scotland, lately ceded to his Majesty, with corn, which the Dantzickers pretend must be purchased only from them.
The difference between his Prussian Majesty and the city of Dantzick will probably be amicably settled by the mediation of the King of Poland, who has sent the Count Unrubé to that city, in quality of Commissary, to negotiate an accommodation.
From the BOSTON Independent Chronicle.
Cambridge, December 10, 1783.
Mr. Willis,
As no particular account of the new planet discovered by Mr. Herschel of Bath, and which has for some time past greatly engaged the attention of the curious in Europe, has been published in America, if you will print in your Chronicle the following extract of a letter from the Rev. Dr. Price, of London, to the Rev. President Willard, respecting this planet, it will perhaps be grateful to many of your customers.
"I AM very glad that it happens to be in my power to answer your enquiries about the new planet. The elements of the orbit, as determined by several of the best Astronomers and Mathematicians, are:
  Place of the node,  2 11 49 30"    Inclination of the orbit,  43 35    Place of the perihelion,  172 13 17    Time of the perihelion passage, September 7th, 1779.     Excentricity of the orbit, 82034   
Half of the greater axis, 19.07904; the earth's, 1.
Revolution, 83.3364 sidereal years.
"Mr. Herschel's observations make the apparent diameter not to be less than four seconds, nor much greater. Hence its real diameter is found to be that of the earth as 4.454 to 1. It appears therefore to be of a considerable size, and, except Saturn and Jupiter, by far the largest of the planets.
"The best method of finding it, will be by some fixed instrument, to take the place of the most considerable small telescopic stars in the neighbourhood of the 44th Gemini-um of Flamsteed's catalogue, and to repeat the same a few days after, when it will be discovered that one of them is no longer in its former place; and thus it's motion will point it out. For unless a very perfect instrument, of a power not less than 200 or 250, be used to view it, there will be great difficulty in distinguishing it from a star of between the sixth and seventh magnitude; and yet, after it is once pointed out, a telescope of less power may confirm the planetary appearance.
"This account has been given me by Mr. Herschel himself, who by discovering this planet has made his name as durable as the solar system. He has from a compliment to the King, who has taken him under his patronage, named it Georgium Sidus; but it will more probably bear his own name. He is a Hessian, and came over here in a Hessian regiment; and for some years directed the music at Bath. The telescopes with which he observes are the Newtonian reflecting telescopes, made by himself, some of which magnify the diameters of objects above six thousand times. A peculiar ability which he has of observing with these high powers, together with his constant attention to the heavens, has enabled him to make many more discoveries among the stars."
To be sold at public Vendue,
ON Thursday the 15th day of January next, by Noah Emery, jr. administrator to the estate of Nathaniel Gilman, late of Exeter, Physician, deceas'd, the personal estate of said deceas'd, consisting of horses, oxen, cows, young cattle, sheep, farming utensils, a chaise and harness, household furniture, a silver watch, two cases of surgeon's instruments, a number of books, &c. Also, by virtue of a licence from the honorable Judge of Probate, will be sold about eight acres of land with a large barn standing thereon, opposite the late dwelling house of said deceas'd, said land will be sold in three lots; also, about fourteen acres of pasture land lying on the northerly side of the neck road (so called); also, the undivided share of a wharf, in common with the heirs of Daniel Gilman, Esq; deceas'd, and one third part of a pew in the new meeting house, all in Exeter, aforesaid; also, one half of a grist mill and one eighth part of an acre of land adjoining the same, and one quarter part of a saw mill, with about four acres of land, at a place called Copyhold, in Brintwood, all in the county of Rockingham.
N. B. Sale to begin at 10 o'clock A. M. at the late dwelling house of said deceas'd, at which time and place conditions of sale may be seen. Exeter, December 24, 1783.

LEYDEN, October 9.
The fate of the city of Dantzick draws to a crisis; and, according to letters from Brandenburg of the 30th of September, several regiments from the neighbouring garrisons have received orders to march towards that city, which since the 24th is more closely blocked up than ever.
LONDON, October 20.
By a late calculation, made by a gentleman perfectly qualified for the undertaking Capt. (G. S.) it appears, there are no fewer than 1247 regular lodges belonging to the Fraternity of Free Masons in Europe, 187 ditto in America, 76 ditto in Asia, and 13 in Africa.—These make 1523 lodges now existing in the world.
On estimating the above lodges, one with another, at 30 members each, the produce will make 45,690 brethren professing the masonic art.
October 21. An action at law, of a very extraordinary nature, is commencing.—Plaintiff, a woman of the most approved and distinguished abilities:—Defendant, one of the most elevated characters in this kingdom.
The cause of action between the above eminent characters is, the non performance of a covenant reciprocally engaged in for the negotiating a business attended with the utmost possible danger, and to which no talents were equal but those of a very superior nature!
Private letters from Rome bring the disagreeable intelligence, that about six thousand children died lately in that metropolis of the small pox within the space of three months.
November 6.
Last Tuesday there was a numerous meeting of the Revolution Society, at the Paul's Head, Cateaton-street, to celebrate in commemoration the anniversary of King William the Third. The number were about 300 persons. Sir Watkin Lewis in the Chair, Lord Surrey on his right, and Mr. Adams, a member of the American Congress, on the left. Many loyal toasts were drunk. The King, the Constitution, and the Rights of the People. After this, Sir Watkin gave, Unanimity with America and Great Britain. It was received with the loudest plaudits. Sir Watkin said, that a Member of the American Congress wished to address a few words to the gentlemen present.
Mr. Adams rose, and in a very few words expressed the desire which the United Colonies had to coincide in every thing that could advance mutual commerce.
Mr. Adams paid a compliment to the city of London in particular, and expressed his hopes that there might be an eternal bond of friendship between the two countries.
The commercial negotiation now going on with America, is managed solely by the American Commissioners, with the Right Hon. Charles James Fox, one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State.
Nov. 12. In consequence of the late failure of the Caisse d'Escompte, a total change of the Ministry has taken place in France.
The resignation of the Comptroller General of Finance in France, has given a greater alarm to the people interested in the funds, than the stoppage of the Caisse d'Escompte, as it is generally understood to proceed from the embarrassed situation of the country.
The French Ambassador at Berlin has been employed for some days past in endeavouring to accommodate all differences between that Court and the citizens of Dantzick; this is thought by politicians on the continent, to proceed from an apprehension, that in case of a continental war, the House of Bourbon might be obliged to take a part, which, in the present state of things, the French Ministry are very anxious to avoid.
Yesterday John Adams, Esq; the American Commissioner, made his appearance in the House of Lords, by the Members of which august Body he was treated with every mark of respect. The famous Benedict Arnold experienced different usage, when he found it prudent to retire with precipitancy, after just peeping into the House. This shews the natural abhorrence entertained by mankind for political apostasy.
D U B L I N, November 11.
Yesterday, pursuant to appointment, the grand national convention, consisting of five delegates from every county, and three from every city in the kingdom, assembled at twelve o'clock, at the Royal Exchange, when they elected the Right Hon. the Earl of Charlemont their chairman, and Messrs. J. Dawson and J. T. Ashenhurst, secretaries; from thence they marched through the streets (which were lined by the volunteer corps of this city) to the Rotunda, where the Union Light Dragoons had mounted guard and received them with presented arms.
NEW-YORK, December 17.
A late letter from London says, "The ladies have abolished hoops, powder, and pomatum, and assumed their primitive neatness. They now wear loose gowns, with black velvet or gold girdles, and collars having some motto on them."
DECEMBER 24.
We can inform some people, who lately pointed the shafts of ridicule and malignity against the first characters in these states, and execrated a republican government as tyrannical and oppressive, that a storm is now gathering in the atmosphere, which will burst on their obnoxious heads, and crush them into that insignificance which their demerits deserve.
A poor man who, to procure bread, has hitherto, by the gracious permission of the King's printer, had the liberty of selling thro' the streets the Royal Gazette, on Wednesday last ventured to cry some of the rebel papers through this city; by which act of high treason he has so offended Mr. Rivington, as not to be allowed to participate in the profits of the Royal Gazette in future.
A strong emetic, we hear will be administered to this state by the legislature, at their next sitting, to make her disgorge the filth that is now preying on her vitals; and unless speedily voided, will bring on the King's Evil.
We are also told, that a number of whigs from the rebel country, mean very shortly to handle a brother typographer "without mittens."
WINDSOR, (Vermont) Nov. 20.
Adices from the lower part of Windham county, mention, that the inhabitants of the town of Haverhill, who have heretofore refused to support the authority of Vermont, and acted in opposition to its government, have lately come in, almost to a man, and acknowledged themselves subjects of this State, taken the oath of allegiance, discharged their arrears of taxes, and appear desirous to assist in quelling those disturbers of the public peace, who have long infested the southern part of this State.
B O S T O N, January 1.
The London papers contain remarks of several members of each House of the British Parliament upon their King's speech; and though it is treated by some in the usual adulatory stile, others mention it as highly deficient, and particularly as it communicated no reasons why the Commercial Treaty with America had broken off, from which so much good fortune was promised by their Ministry.
The Honorable the House of Delegates of the State of Virginia having on the 4th inst. taken into consideration the act of the English King in Council of the 2d of July last, prohibiting the American vessels from carrying the produce of the West India islands; unanimously passed the following resolutions, viz.
"That the United States in Congress assembled ought to be impowered to prohibit British vessels from being the carriers of the growth or produce of the British West-
India islands to these United States, so long as the restriction aforesaid, shall be continued on the part of Great Britain, or to concert any other mode to be adopted by the States, which shall be thought effectual to counteract the designs of Great Britain, with respect to the American commerce."
The Spaniards rate the Expences of the War at near Sixty Millions of Dollars, not one third of which has been expended in the Siege of Gibraltar.
The funded and unfunded Debt of Great Britain makes a Mass of Two Hundred and Thirty Millions Sterling.
S A L E M, January 1.
The British Parliament met, and proceeded to business, on the 11th of November. We have received no paper by Capt. West, containing his Britannic Majesty's speech delivered on that day: it appears, however, by the address of the House of Lords (supposed, as usual, to be an echo of the speech) that he had ordered the Definitive Treaty with the Courts of France and Spain, and with the United States of America, and the Preliminary Articles ratified with the States General, to be laid before them; and that the principal matter recommended to their consideration was the maintenance and improvement of "the valuable advantages derived from their East-India possessions, and the security of the happiness of the native inhabitants of those provinces."—It don't appear that the speech contains a word about Ireland, though "considered as the grandest object which at present offers to the politician's eye, through all Europe."
Died at Boston, on Monday last, the Rev. Samuel Cooper, D. D. Pastor of the church in Brattle street, in that town, and Vice-President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
A LL Persons indebted for this Gazette, are requested to make payment up to the first of January inst. at the Printing-Office in Portsmouth; otherwise, they must not think hard if their Papers are stopped, &c.

BASSETERRE,
(St. Christopher) Nov. 8.
A PROCLAMATION.
CAMILLE CHARLES Chevalier de ERESEN, Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment of Auxerrois, Knight of the Royal and Military Order of St. Louis, and Commander in Chief of the Islands of St. Christopher and Nevis.
WHEREAS having observed a certain article inserted in the English Gazette, called the Antigua Chronicle, dated the 31st of last month, and expressed in the following terms.
[The article here refer'd to, ordering all Frenchmen and Foreigners forthwith to quit the island, was inserted in the New-Hampshire Gazette of the 20th ultimo.]
And whereas being absolutely unacquainted with the motives which have given rise to an order of that kind, and not being able to conceive the meaning of it, we think it prudent to take precautions respecting the said order, and being unwilling to exercise the same rigor, that his Excellency the Governor of Antigua has given an example of, before we are better informed, we only order:
ART. 1. That all the subjects of his Britannic Majesty of whatsoever condition or quality they may be, actually residing in the island of St. Christopher and Nevis, who have not taken the oath required by the Capitulations of the said Islands when they were taken by the arms of his Most Christian Majesty, do hold themselves in readiness to quit the said Islands at the first order they shall receive, and to attend in six days after the date of the publication of the present Proclamation at our Government House, in order to enter their names and habitations in our Secretary's office, under the pain of disobedience of his Majesty's order.
ART. 2. We desire the Justices of Peace and other Public Officers, to acquaint themselves of the several persons of the above denomination, residing in their respective parishes; and we make them responsible to the King for the execution of the preceding articles, respecting the entering the names and habitations of the said persons.
ART. 3. We also make responsible to the King, all Capitulants of the said Islands of St. Christopher and Nevis, who shall keep in their houses any of the said persons who shall not have submitted to the disposition of the first article concerning the entering their names and habitations.
ART. 4. We order, that until a contradictory order, no inhabitant of the Islands of St. Christopher and Nevis shall have authority to embark for any English colony without a particular permission from us, which shall only be obtained upon good reasons, and that no passengers coming from any of the English Islands, shall be admitted into the colony, without an express permission from us.
ART. 5. Having no intention to derogate from the agreement by which his Most Christian Majesty has consented that the English vessels coming from Europe or the English islands should be admitted into the roads of the islands of St. Christopher and Nevis, nor from the orders which his Excellency the Viscount de DAMAS, Commander in Chief of French windward islands has sent us on that subject, permission shall be granted to the Captains and crews of the English merchantmen to land and dispose of their cargoes, provided they conform to the regulations of the police, which is observed in the said roads: The present Proclamation
shall be published and fixed up wherever there shall be any occasion.
Given at Basseterre, in the island of St. Christopher, under the seal of our arms and countersign of our Secretary and Interpreter. DE ERESEN. (L.S.)
By his Excellency the Commandant, FREDEN, Secretary and Interpreter.
PORTSMOUTH, January 3.
We hear that the Hon. JOHN LANGDON, Esq; has received a very polite letter by the packet, from his Excellency the Marquis de CASTRIES, dated Versailles the 9th of August, respecting the ship AMERICA, in which our great and good Ally the King of France, has denoted his great satisfaction.
A BON MOT.
THE late celebrated Dr. Brown courted a lady for many years, though unsuccessful; during which time it had been his custom to drink the lady's health before that of any other. But, being observed one evening to omit it, a gentleman reminding him of it, said "Come Doctor, drink the lady your toast." The Doctor replied, "I have toasted her for many years, and can't make her Brown: so I'll toast her no longer."
THE TORY'S SOLOQUY.
TO go or not to go?—is that the question? Whether 'tis best to trust the inclement sky, That frowns indignant o'er the dreary Bay Of Fundy and Cape Sable's rocks and shoals, And seek our new domain in Scotia's wilds, Barren and bare:—or stay among the Rebels!— And, by our stay rouse up the keenest rage, That, bursting o'er our now defenceless heads, Will crush us for the countless wrongs we've done them?
Hard choice! Stay! let me think... To explore our way Thro' raging seas, to Scotia's rocky coast, At this dire season of this direful year, Where scarce the sun affords a cheerful ray; Or stay and cringe to the rude surly whigs, Whose wounds, yet fresh, may urge their desperate hands To spurn us while we sue;—perhaps confine us To the KING'S CARE of some OUTRAGEOUS mob, Who, for their sport our persons may adorn In all the Majesty of TAR and FEATHERS; Perhaps our necks, to keep their humour warm May grace a Rebel halter!—There's the sting, This people's the bleak clime—For who can brook A Rebel's frown?—or bear his children's stare When in the streets they point and hiss "A TORY." The open insult, the piercing stab Of satire's pointed pen—or worse, far worse, Committee's rage—or jury's grave debate On the grand question "shall their lives" forsooth "On property—or bath—stone their crimes?" Who'd bear all these calamities? And more We justly may expect, while SHELBOURNE's shore Invites us to decide the case ourselves, And sooth our cares in that harmonious name: But that the fear of woes, in distant climes, (By conscience heightened to enormous size) Makes us, like cowards, bear those ills we know, Rather than hazard others and our friends (For numerous friends we boast—the united Band of lawyers to a man) kindly engage To turn the edge of whigs restrictive laws, And reinstate us in our native soil. O! 'tis a kindness that we with devoutly, And well deserves our thanks with half our worth. But is it in their power? When they harrangue Will whigs forget we long have been their foes, And guide their verdict by a lawyer's tongue? Perish that hope! They serve us for our gold. Their friendship and their virtue put to sale, Pay but their price—they'll hang us every one. Then what our fate, when those cerberian whigs Those miss with Argos-eyes, Brutus and Cavis, Publicus and thousands more (their real names Whoever stays may to their sorrow find) Will sound th' alarm, and those men of gold Tho' brib'd with half our wealth:—that once possess'd, They leave us—nor will plead (or faintly plead) Our desperate cause against the warm resentment Of men resolved to drive us from their land. Then let us fly—nor trust a war of words Where British arms and Tory arts have fail'd T'eff'ct our purpose.—On bleak Roseway's shores Let's lose our fears—for no bold whig will dare With sword or law, to persecute us there.
