From the STAR, printed in LONDON. I entreat the favour of your inserting the following passages out of a letter I received this day, from Dorchester, directly mentioning the following awful particulars:
MR. Caleb Evans, of Bristol, called to visit one of his hearers, and saw a young lady in the parlour, who came to the Hot Wells for her health, and lodged with them. Observing her unusually pensive, Mr. Evans took the liberty to enquire the reason. She answered—"Sir, I will think no more of it; it was only a dream,"—and said she would not be so childish as to be alarmed at a dream.—"But Sir (said she) I will tell you my dream, and then I will think no more of it."—She then repeated as follows:
I dreamt I was at the ball where I intended to go to night. Soon after I was in the room I was taken very ill, and they gave me a smelling-bottle, and then I was brought home into this room, and I was put into that chair (pointing to an elbow chair) fainted and died: I then thought I was carried to a place where angels and holy people were singing hymns and praises to God, that I found myself very unhappy, and desired to go from them. My conductor said, if I did, I should never come there again—with that he violently whirled me out, and I fell down! down! down!—through darkness, thunderings and sulphur into flames, and when the flames began to scorch me, I was alarmed with hideous cries, and awaked. Mr. Evans made some serious remarks on the dream, and desired the young lady not to go to the ball that night. She said she would, for she was more of a woman than to mind dreams. She went to the ball—was taken ill—a smelling-bottle was given her, according to her dream—she was brought home—put into the chair above mentioned—fainted—and died.—
A writer of the natural History of the different kinds of Serpents in the East-Indies, among other kinds mentions the two following.—
Serpent poison, or poison Serpent. AMONG the Serpents of India, that which I believe to be most formidable is but about two feet long, and very small. Its skin is freckled with little traits of brown, or a pale red, and contrasted with a ground of dirty yellow; it is mostly found in dry and rocky places, and its bite is mortal in less than one or two minutes. In the year 1759, in the province of Cadapet, I saw several instances of it; and among others, one very singular, in the midst of a corps of troops, commanded by M. de Buffy. An Indian Gentoo merchant perceived a Mahometan soldier of his acquaintance going to kill one of these reptiles, which he found sleeping under his packet. The Gentoo flew to beg its life, protesting that it would do no hurt if it was not first provoked; passing, at the same time, his hand under its belly to carry it out of the camp, when suddenly it twisted round, and bit his little finger; upon which this unfortunate martyr to benevolence, gave a shriek—took a few steps, and fell down insensible. They flew to his assistance, applied the serpent-stone, fire, and scarifications; but they were all ineffectual, his blood was already coagulated. About an hour after I saw the body as they were going to burn it, and I thought I perceived some indications of a complete dissolution of the blood.
I do not believe there are many Gentos enthusiastic enough to become the victims of such absurd benevolence; several, at present, make no great difficulty of killing these Serpents, or at least of seeing them killed. It is however certain, that most of them are unwilling to assist in killing the hooded Serpent, and especially those which
creep into, and are therefore under the protection of their temples.
Serpent bruin, or burning Serpent. This reptile is nearly of the same form with the last mentioned: Its skin is not quite so deep a brown and is speckled with dark green spots; its poison is almost as dangerous, but is less active, and its effects are very different. In some persons it is a devouring fire, which, as it circulates through the veins presently occasions death; the blood dissolves into a lymphatic liquor, resembling thin broth, without apparent-ly having passed through the intermediate state of coagulation, and runs from eyes, nose and ears, and even through the pores. In other subjects, the poison seems to have changed the very nature of the humours in dissolving them: the skin is chapped, and becomes scaly, the hair falls off, the members are tumified, the patient feels all over his body the most racking pains, then numbness and is not long in perishing. It is said however, that people have been cured by remedies well and soon applied. Be that as it may, it seems to me, that the poison of these different reptiles is in general more powerful, the more they live in hot and dry places, where they feed upon insects that are full of saline, volatile and acrimonious particles.

BOSTON, November 18.
FRESH WAR NEWS—
[Yesterday arrived in this port the ship Dispatch, Capt. D. LORING, in 49 days from Liverpool, who has brought papers to the 27th of September, from them we have extracted the following Intelligence; which corresponding with, or leading to the later information brought by the arrival at Rappahannock, induces us to believe, that the Declaration of War between England and Spain, will at least prove to be NO HUM.]
LONDON, September 14.
THE accounts from Spain become more hostile; and if we were to judge from the preparations that are now making, with the utmost activity, in all our dock yards, we should conclude, that Ministers have as little hopes of peace, as they ever had since the commencement of the negotiation. Orders have lately been given for seventeen ships of the line to be got ready, in addition to those already in commission.
SEPTEMBER 16.
The next messenger from Madrid, who is expected every day, will certainly bring some intelligence of a more decisive nature than has hitherto transpired.
Orders have been issued from the Admiralty, for enforcing the impress service with the utmost effect, regardless of all previous protections. Additional houses of rendezvous are already opened, & every nerve is straining to procure men for the ships recently put in commission.
SEPTEMBER 23.
The public may depend on the following VERY IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.
The Trelawney Planter, Capt. M'Donald sailed on the 26th July from Jamaica, and in the Gulph of Florida, while in company with the Louisa, Steele, fell in with a fleet of Spanish ships, of which three were register ships, under convoy of two line of battle ships, and three frigates. A gun was fired for Capt. M'Donald to hoist out his boat, and come on board the Spanish Commodore, which he did not comply with, stating that his ship was indifferently manned, and his boats were leaky; but it being late in the evening, he informed the Commodore that he would remain in company all night. The Commodore on this sent his own boat, and Capt. M'Donald was carried on board the Spanish man of war.
As soon as he came on board, he was ordered into a most cruel species of confinement, practised on board Spanish ships, and called the Bilboes. He was stretched along on his back, between two planks of wood, and a third piece of wood stretched across the chest—his face exposed to a vertical sun, and in this posture he lay for sixteen hours, and must have fallen a victim to the torture and the heat, but for the humanity of some of the crew, who occasionally eased his torture, and gave him room to turn.
During this time, an officer and fifteen men boarded the Trelawney Planter, and rummaged the cargo, and overhauled every part of the ship. After they had made their report, he was dismissed without any explanation of, or apology for this outrage. He found, that tho' every thing had been put in disorder, nothing had been carried away. He made regular minutes of this gross and scandalous insult, committed on the flag of England, which, on his arrival in town on Monday last, he transmitted to the Secretary of State, for the information of his Majesty's Ministers.
The Capt. was yesterday examined by Mr. Pitt, and a committee of the Privy Council; when he confirmed the narrative he had previously transmitted to the Secretary of State, in every particular—He was questioned very minutely as to the course in which he was steering—the latitude, and his precise words in answer to the first summons he received to go on board the Spanish Commodore.
He was ordered to attend the Privy Council again this morning, and to bring along with him a gentleman, who was his passenger, and his first mate. Capt. M'Donald is a gentleman of unimpeached veracity—a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and who is known and highly respected by several Admirals in that service.
The public indignation at this insult offered to the British flag is very great, and may possibly cause a speedy termination to be put to the negotiations concerning Nootka Sound. "Are English seamen, engaged in the fair commerce of their country to be abused in their persons and property, and the British flag to be insulted with impunity?" Is the general exclamation. Many Naval Gentlemen, however, take a different view of the affair, and assert, that the Captain's refusal to go on board a Spanish ship of war, when required so to do, warranted the treatment which he experienced, as the request was, in every respect, agreeably to the established practice.
SEPTEMBER 25.
A Council was held yesterday at the Duke of Leeds's office, Whitehall, when Capt. M'Donald, a gentleman his passenger, and his servant, were examined respecting the treatment from the Spanish Commodore. This extraordinary circumstance was discussed with the utmost candour and precision.
Immediately after their examination, expressies were sent to collect every one of the hands who had been on board the Trelawney Planter, to be brought to town, for the purpose of having them examined.
Orders have been sent to the different men of war to send to town any of the hands who were pressed, and are on board of our navy.
The Council, after closing their enquiry, immediately appointed a Charge des Affairs to the Court of Copenhagen, who was with uncommon anxiety, directed to take his departure last night, without permitting him to adjust any domestic concerns.
By private letters from Paris, we learn, that M. Neckar was to set off for Switzerland on Saturday last.
A report prevails, that on Wednesday last it was publickly announced at Paris, that the Duke of Orleans had declared in favor of the French King.
On the same evening the people of Paris, to the number of 40,000, collected at the gates of the National Assembly, and being headed (as was supposed) by the Duke of Orleans, attempted to force an entrance, and persisted with all the violence imaginable for several hours.
At length, about the hour of three o'clock on Thursday morning, they were all dispersed by the National guards, and we have not heard of any material mischief having happened. But the whole city was in the greatest fermentation when these accounts came away.
When the Court of Spain pressed upon France the fulfilment of the Articles of the Family Compact, she intimated her intentions of seeking new allies among the different powers of Europe, without excepting any one. They have not however confined themselves to Europe. There are advices in town, that the Spanish Court has sent no less than six private embassies to the different settlements in the new States, to sound their dispositions for an alliance—to Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, Charleston, Congress & Rhode-Island.
Sound policy dictates this measure for the safety of their Mexican dominions, which, at this moment, are in such a state that the smallest spark would probably kindle up the fire of Rebellion. Indeed it may be considered as almost certain, that though peace may be restored to Europe, it will not be preserved in South America.
Whitehall, Sept. 18. This morning about 5 o'clock, departed this life, at Cumberland-House, Pall-mall, after a long illness, his Royal Highness Henry Frederic, Duke of Cumberland, to the grief of their Majesties and all the Royal Family.
CIVIL WAR in FRANCE.
Authentic particulars of the dreadful affair at Nancy, from M. BOUILLE's letter to the National Assembly, dated Nancy, September 1.
"Since my entrance into this city I have not had a minute to spare, to send a regular account of my conduct, and of the present state of things here. On the 31st, I assembled the troops destined to quell the rebellion of the three regiments at Nancy. I read to them the decree of the National Assembly; and from their manner I saw I might depend on their disposition and order to execute the decree.
"At ten o'clock, on the road from Point a Mousson to Nancy, I was met by a deputation from the Municipality and the Garrison of Nancy. My answer was positive, that the garrison must quit the city, and Messrs. Denoue and Malfeigne must be set at liberty. I continued my march, and at two o'clock in the afternoon I arrived within a league and a half of the city.
Here I was again met by deputies, to whom I repeated the conditions, and added besides, that they must deliver to me four of the most culpable of each regiment, whom I should send to the National Assembly. A delay of one hour was desired. I granted it: At four o'clock I approached the city; I made my troops halt at thirty yards from the walls.
A deputation from the Municipality, and, from the King's regiment informed me, that the soldiers were departing according to my orders. I ran to my advanced guard, to prevent an action.—While the soldiers were going out of the other gates, one only was guarded by the soldiers from each of the three regiments. I marched to the gate with my vanguard; I summoned the gate to be surrendered; I was answered by the discharge of cannon and musketry. The National Guard returned the fire, burst open the gate, and it was no longer possible to stop my men; they killed all that encountered them.
When arrived at the Great Square, I formed my troops in order of battle.—They fired on us from the windows. I immediately advanced through different streets, to the arsenal, and the quarters of the regiments. Here a furious combat commenced—which lasted three hours. I had not more than 2400 regulars, and 6 or 700 National Guards; and we were attacked by 24,000; for the insurgents were joined by the lower part of the inhabitants.
At seven o'clock, the Swiss regiment of Chateauxvieux, being part cut to pieces, and part taken prisoners, the regiment of Mestre-de-camp being fled out of the city, the King's Regiment sent to me that they would surrender. I ordered them to march out of the city to their destined quarters, and then I repaired to the Town-house.
To-day order is entirely re-established, and the citizens are satisfied. We have lost a great many men; I cannot at present exactly specify the number of the dead, but I believe they amount to at least three hundred.
Monsr. Malfeigne has rejoined the scarabineers, who have returned to their duty, and have delivered up twenty of the ring-leaders of the insurrection.
NEW-YORK, November 4.
We hear from Philadelphia, that the streets of that city swarm with office holders, private secretaries, merchant barbers, friseurs, pery-wig makers, tailors, shoemakers, office hunters, short-hand writers and courting-printers, from every quarter, particularly from New-York. It is said the city cannot afford houses for this formidable group—but the melancholy situation of this houseless company, will be rendered much more agreeable before the cold season of next summer; for, it is said, that masons and carpenters have actually contracted to build upwards of 500 houses before next spring.
BOSTON, Nov. 13. Capt. STODDARD, from Martinique, informs, that the disturbances in that
island still continue; and that the inveteracy of the parties was not abated.
During the military honors, performed by a detachment of Capt. Johnson's Artillery, at the funeral on Wednesday last, Mr. William Jennings and Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, two of the company, were burnt in a distressing manner, by the accidental explosion of one of the pieces, while they were in the act of loading. Both these persons deserve commiseration. Mr. Jennings, in a peculiar degree; as he has a young family, a wife and three children, and has but just recovered the misfortune of having his shop and tools destroyed by fire.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Alexandria, to his friend in Baltimore, dated the 29th ult.
"Just in the moment of closing this letter, I have been informed, by a gentleman from the southward, that yesterday, Capt. Mowbray, in a vessel from England, arrived at Port-Royal Rappahannock-River after a very short passage (report says 22 days) by which vessel there are the most authenticated accounts of a WAR having absolutely taken place between England and Spain, and that the Captain had actually read the Declaration of War previous to his leaving England.—How far this may be true, I cannot say; but, from several circumstances, I am apt to give credit to it.
The following Order, is copied from a Halifax paper, of Oct. 14.
"Halifax, Oct. 7, 1790.
"THE Governor of the State of Massachusetts-Bay, having represented to his Excellency the Lieut. Governor that a person, named SAMUEL HADLOCK, after having been convicted of committing murder, in a manner uncommonly malicious and cruel, had escaped from the jail of Pownalborough, in that State; and, thereon requesting that all means might be used to apprehend and secure the said criminal, if to be found within this Province, so that he may be brought to due punishment.
"His Excellency, therefore, ready to comply with a request so just, has thought hereby to require and direct all Justices of the Peace, Sheriffs, Constables, and others, his Majesty's subjects in this Province, to be diligent in their endeavours to discover, apprehend and secure the said Samuel Hadlock; and if he shall be found, to keep him in safe custody, giving immediate notice thereof.

SALEM, Nov. 9.
Capt. Green arrived here on Sunday last, in 41 days from Bourdeaux. When he sailed WAR was generally expected in France, and preparations were busily making for it.
A GENERAL PEACE
In the north of Europe has followed the treaty between the Kings of Hungary and Prussia—as we are informed by Capt. Richard Derby, who arrived here on Saturday last, in 60 days from Gottenburg. The terms of peace were not particularly known at Gottenburg when he came away, but a message from his Swedish Majesty purported that they were honorable and satisfactory to him, beyond his expectations. The treaty was concluded in Finland. His Majesty arrived at Stockholm about the first of September. The troops at Gottenburg were disbanded. The merchants were sending off their vessels as usual in the time of peace.

Extract of a letter from a Master of a vessel belonging to this port, dated Basseterre, Guadalupe, October 20.
"I arrived at St. Pierre (Martinique) in a passage of 19 days, and found every thing there in great confusion; sales for nothing, owing to the communication being cut off by land & water, that the General and his party might receive no supplies. An embargo was laid on vessels, and it was uncertain when it would be taken off, and cargoes were perishing on board. I insisted on not anchoring, paid the guard and sent them on shore, expecting to make my escape. In the evening was taken out myself by two armed boats, put on shore, and there detained as security for the schooner's not departing. The next morning my boat came on shore, and informed me no guard was on board; when I went to the American Consul, and told him I intended to attempt to make my escape. He advised me to wait the answer of the Municipality to a remonstrance he had that morning sent them. However considering delays dangerous, I went on board, set the people to work, repairing my ties, &c. and by that means drifted out of the reach of the guns—made sail, and steered to the westward. Off the west point of Martinique, an armed Virginia built pilot boat fired two shot into me, and chased me 7 hours, but at length gave over, I having gained 2 leagues her."
"The evening I was taken out of my vessel at Martinique, a brig arrived from Baltimore, another from Portsmouth—a schooner from Portland, and a schooner from Marblehead; all which had guards put on board."
"This place (Guadalupe) is almost deserted, the men being gone as Volunteers to Martinique."
PORTSMOUTH, November 20.
For the encouragement of our country brethren, we mention the following uncommon instance of Fertility: In the town of Wolfborough, upon Mr. Cabot's farm, were produced the present season from a Turnip-Yard, which by accurate measure was rather less than half an acre, Four Hundred and Eighty-five bushels of Turnips of an excellent quality!
A Philadelphia paper has the following extract of a letter from New-York, dated October—'I was this day informed that the Secretary of the Treasury has negotiated a loan in Holland for nearly two millions of dollars, pursuant to the late act of Congress, on advantageous terms. The negotiation of a loan with the wary Hollander, on favorable terms, strongly indicates that the funds of the United States are considered in Europe as an eligible depositum of property.'
Thursday the 25th instant, is appointed by the authority of Rhode-Island a Day of Thanksgiving throughout that State.
The same Day is set apart for the same religious purpose in the State of Vermont.
VERMONT.
The Legislature of that State, has passed an Act for calling a state CONVENTION, to meet at Bennington, Jan. 6, 1791, for the purpose of assenting to, and ratifying the Constitution of the United States. That this Convention will ratify the Constitution, is certain: Which will thereby add another member to the great body of the Union.
The town of WILMINGTON (Massachusetts) we are assured, has this season raised and sent to market, so many HOPS as have produced the sum of Twelve Thousand Dollars. We are happy to mention such an instance of agricultural prosperity.
