From late London Papers which a correspondent has indulged us with the sight of, the following is selected.
LONDON, November 7.
Extract of a Letter from Paris, October 30.
CAPTAIN ASGILL , who was saved from death by the humane interference of Count de Vergennes, while prisoner in the American army, is now here on a visit to his noble preserver, by whom he has been received with the greatest cordiality. The gratitude of the one, and the generosity of the other, are pleasing instances in favor of modern manners.
Five hundred thousand dollars have been sent from New York to Great Britain. Half of that sum has arrived safely on board the last ship from that Place, and the other half is expected with the next ship.
There cannot be fairer game for satire than the mock patriotism of the times. It is a composition consisting of the following ingredients—Of poverty , one pound; of ambition , six ounces; profligacy , an equal quantity; oratory , as much as makes it palatable: The whole to be sprinkled over with a small quantity of honesty , but not so much as a scruple.
BON MOT of a Scotch Clergyman.
At a late meeting of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, a tedious member was on his legs for more than an hour, and divided his reasons for speaking thus: The first footing I go upon is this, &c.—The second footing, the third, &c. but when he came to the fourth footing, the clergyman who sat next to him cried out, "Do, Sir, drive on faster, now you have got four feet."
Doctor Franklin has written a large letter to Sir Joseph Banks, on the Utility of Air Balloons; and proving to what singular Advantage the Invention may be turned by so ingenious a Set of Ministers as England at present is blessed with. Sir Joseph Banks has transmitted this Letter to Sir Cecil Wray, for the Amusements of the Opposition Members.
The King's Speech on Tuesday was allowed by every Member in both Houses, one Earl excepted, to be the best that his Majesty ever delivered in Parliament. This certainly does the highest honor to the Cabinet Ministers. We saw nothing of former peace speeches in it, although the distemper of the horned cattle at Derby offered an occasion of that kind.
The India affairs will be the bone of political contention this session of Parliament, and promises to afford a fine scope for long speeches against whatever part Administration may take for the benefit of the kingdom.
Lord Shelburne did not, on Tuesday, attend the House, which omen is a tacit acquiescence in the power, strength and abilities of the present Administration.
Mrs. Hayley's trip to Boston is expected to take place very shortly. This lady we understand, has outstanding debts there to the amount of more than 20,000 pounds, and has the good sense and spirit to be her own attorney.
Nov. 12. The latest letters from Venice mention, that a shock of an earthquake had lately happened at Cataro, belonging to that Republic, by which part of the island was overthrown.
The Court Martial appointed to try Admiral Comte Byland, at Rotterdam, has acquitted him honorably of all and every charge brought against him for having struck, off St. Eustatius, to the British fleet.
The grand national objects, which, it is said, his Majesty and the present Ministry have in contemplation are:
1. To maintain the true honor of the Crown inviolate, as by law established.
2. To reduce the national debt, and soften the burthens of the poor as much as possible.
3. To give the utmost freedom to trade and support to the merchants.
4. To maintain a proper naval establishment, and the ancient dignity of the British flag.
5. To consider affectionately, and in the most cool and unprejudiced manner, the claims of Ireland, and generously to grant whatever may promote the true happiness, the honor of so gallant a people, and the mutual confidence of both countries.
6. To investigate, free from all party considerations, the affairs of the honorable East India Company, and to promote its true interest.
7. To attend with vigile, and pursue with ardour, every object productive of prosperity to the people.
Extract of a genuine Letter from a gentleman at Middelbourg in Zealand, dated November 5, 1783.
"A letter has this day been received in this town from the Pensionaire of Sluys, giving an account that an armed force had seized two of the Dutch forts near Bruges, turned out the officers and men who garrisoned them, and taken possession of them in the name of the Emperor of Germany. Reports adds, that Sluys is besieged by six thousand troops. What steps their High Mightinesses will take is uncertain. The supposed cause is, the regaining the free navigation of the Scheld up to Antwerp, which, I understand, by treaty, he was restricted from. The letter observes no interruption will be given to passengers."
Extract of a letter from the Hague, dated Nov. 7, 1783.
"We have accounts from Hulst, in Flanders, that a detachment of 4000 Imperial troops, under command of a Major, four Captains, and some subaltern officers, armed, and provided with 30 rounds of cartridges each, passed on the 27th of October through the Hulsterche Klingen, a territory belonging to the Republic, and after that along the dyke of the Polder, called the Kieldrecht, all upon the territory belonging to the Republic, without having asked any leave, or being furnished with any letters or patents, authorising such passage."
His Majesty's speech, however worded with caution, still has afforded matter for debate. The silence with respect to Ireland, however prudent, is yet a reed whereby to save a sinking oppositionist.
If any thing should happen to the King of Prussia, who, die when he may, will not leave behind him any thing like a compeer in true glory; a German war will be a very probable consequence: Dantzick, Pomerania, Silesia; may each be considered as a fermenting principle of great potency.
Nov. 14. There is an American in town, whose constant employ is to inveigle away useful manufacturers, particularly weavers, as the making of hats is expected to be a very valuable branch of commerce in those towns near the Lakes.
Advices are received from Paris, that the Queen of France has miscarried at Fontainebleu, but is in a fair way of recovery.
The same account assure us, that a change had taken place in the French Ministry; but particulars of the new arrangement our correspondent had not yet been able to procure.
A gentleman who arrived on Wednesday from the Hague, says, that some disagreeable news had arrived from the Dutch Ambassador at Vienna, which had thrown their High Mightinesses into a great consternation; that they have ordered a number of troops to be raised immediately; and it is generally believed, that the Emperor has an intention of waging war against the Dutch, but this he says, is only supposition; for whatever the news is, it has been kept from the knowledge of the public.
The Definitive Treaty resembles a play on the second night—The critics of the day proposed alterations; the authors adopted them; and the players may now be said to be mellow in their parts.
The ladies have again had recourse to powder—Indeed, the natural color of the hair produced so many disagreeable discoveries as to age, &c. that it was found necessary to plaster up the building as before. Mareschal is in particular a convenient powder, there is not any thing smells so well.

PHILADELPHIA, November 29.
About a fortnight ago the Brig Philadelphia Packet, Captain Torrans, from Belfast for this port, ran ashore on Sinepuxent bar, when the passengers, being in a hurry to get on shore, hired a Providence Schooner, that came to their assistance; after throwing her cargo overboard, she took about 70 of them on board, when having got a small distance from the ship the Schooner overset, being top heavy, and every person perished; about 50 of the passengers and servants saved themselves in the brig's boat, and on a raft which they had made.
NEW-YORK, December 24.
We are informed that a gentleman in Tobago, descended from the European Governor of that island, has lately obtained a patent for the culture and sale of Nutmegs, which he engages to raise there equal in quality to those produced in Ceylon.
BOSTON, January 3.
The town of New Haven, in Connecticut, have voted, That it is their opinion, that no vessels ought to be admitted into their harbour, whether British or others, from ports that are shut against the inhabitants of these United States; deeming it highly detrimental to the trading interest of that town.—In consequence of this resolution, they have appointed a committee to wait on Captains, owners, supercargoes and others, who may be suspected of introducing goods from such ports, advising, and using their influence, that they should not be landed, until a permit from their Governor is obtain'd.—They also chose a committee to wait on the Delegate from that State to Congress, requesting him to use his influence with them, to pass a General Act, of this nature, throughout the United States.
We hear that Captain Moor is safe arrived at the Vineyard, in 28 days from London.

We hear from Newbury-Port, that last week the ship Revolution owned by Messieurs Tracys, bound from Amsterdam for that port, was stranded in a storm on Plumb Island; that Capt. Rappall, the late master, died on the passage.—Also, that in the same storm, was wreck'd on Cape Cod,
the brig Peace and Plenty, Capt. Callahan, from London for Boston, who had been a long time out.—We also hear that another ship of Messrs. Tracys, the Julius Caesar, Capt. Lee, from Cadiz for Newbury-Port, after having sprung a leak and cut away his fore and main-masts, flung his cables, and part of his cargo of wine, oil, raisins, &c. overboard, and losing 700 hog-heads of salt, which melted and was pumped out, was in a violent snow-storm cast away at Truro, on the back of Cape Cod, and soon went to pieces.
The Hoop, Capt. Low, from this port, bound to Old York, was also lost on Thursday last.
It is said that sixteen vessels have been cast away on Cape Cod within a few months; a greater number for the time, than ever was known.
