CONSTANTINOPLE, April 18.
THE people having begun to murmur at the excessive price to which coffee had been raised, the Grand Vizir, in order to get information of the reasons of such augmentation, disguised himself as a peasant, and repaired to one of the dealers in that commodity, and being convinced that four Jews purchased it by wholesale, to sell it by retail to whom they pleased (which is prohibited by the Mussulman's laws) he ordered them all to be arrested the next morning, and sentenced them to be publickly hanged, which was immediately done.
BRUSSELS, April 25.
According to letters from Hesse, the recruits for Great Britain go on more brisk than ever, particularly when they are enrolled with condition of going to America. The Landgrave has made an excellent treaty with the Court of St. James's, who are to pay 30l. sterling for each recruit that is not returned home at the end of the war, and besides that, to pay a considerable sum for engaging men. Volunteers arrive from all quarters, knowing there is no more Americans to be killed, and having learnt from their comrades of Saratoga and York-Town, they may go to America, and receive from the Congress of the United States, after abandoning the British standard, a quantity of land, by the culture of which they will be able to support themselves with ease and affluence: this pleasing prospect, and what is still more so, the acquisition of their liberty, has induced a number of peasants to sell themselves.
PARIS, June 25.
The four companies of the King's guards having supplicated his Majesty to permit them to offer him a ship of 74 guns, the expence of constructing which to be taken from the appointment and pay of this corps, the King has not judged proper to accept this offer but by a letter which his Majesty has written to Prince de Beaven, the Captain on duty, he was pleased to testify his sensibility, and how much he was affected by this mark of zeal in the four companies, and to assure them he would never forget it.
L O N D O N.
July 16. On Saturday General Arnold was at the Levee, at St. James's, for the first time these three months, when the new members of Administration kissed his Majesty's hand.
The first symptom of peace with America that has attended the Earl of Shelburne's Administration, was the appearance of one Arnold at the Levee, where he had not ventured to shew his face since the appointment of the Marquis of Rockingham (lately deceased) to be at the head of the Treasury.
The following is the substance of an account from Geneva, of the 2d of July, as given in the Supplement to the Paris Gazette, of the 9th of July.
The 8th of April last, a numerous party of the Bourgeois, seconded by a great number of the natives and inhabitants, took arms, and attacked the guard of the Republic, took the arsenals and magazines, overawed the council, and insulted the magistrates.
In consequence of which the King of France, as Protector of the Republic, took measures in concert with the King of Sardinia and the Canton of Berne, to put an end to those disorders, and to quiet the Republic.
For this purpose, about 12,000 men, belonging to the three powers, were assembled near Geneva; and on the 29th of last month the town was summoned by the three Generals, and five hours only were given them to reply; after a short consideration the troops of the three powers were admitted, and thus terminated, without striking a blow, a business from which the most fatal consequences were feared.
At the request of Admiral the Count VAUDREUIL, commanding his Most Christian Majesty's fleet now in this harbour—ALL PERSONS are hereby cautioned against aiding or assisting any Soldier, Seaman, or Servant, belonging to either of the vessels of said fleet, in getting off the Hospital Island, or either of the islands in the harbour, or other place where they may be stationed on duty, or concealing any person of the above description, as they would avoid the penalties of the law against secreting men engaged in the service of the United States, or in that of our generous Ally.
The good people of this and the neighbouring State, are requested to use their endeavors to apprehend the following, or any future DESERTERS from said fleet, and commit them to jail; and upon intelligence thereof, transmitted to the subscriber, all charges shall be paid, and the deserters immediately sent for, viz.
Five Soldiers of the regiment of Vienne, their cloathing white cuff'd with blue.
Seven ditto, of the regiment du Cap, their cloathing blue cuff'd with green.

L O N D O N, July 16.
A gentleman, well known in the patriotic world, has ordered a hundred copies of the debate in the house of Commons on Tuesday last, (in the course of Mr. Fox's resignation, and the great question of American Independence, came under consideration) to be neatly bound up, as a present to the American Congress.
Capt. Aisgill, now confined by General Washington, as mentioned in the London Courant of Saturday last, is the only son of Sir Charles Aisgill, and is just 25 years of age. Before he embarked for America, his father made him an offer of 3000l. a year, provided he would give up his commission; but this the young gentleman spurned at, preferring a military life to ease and plenty at home. This amiable youth has written a letter to his father under his unfortunate confinement, but without dismay, or complaint, expressing only the uneasiness of having disobeyed him in his perseverance in his duty to his country, and calling on him for his blessing and forgiveness, in consideration of its being the only act of his life in which he had done so.
Sir Charles Aisgill having been judged past recovery when the last express arrived from America, he has not been informed of the above melancholly situation of his son.
CHARLESTOWN, (S. C.) July 3.
Letters from Georgia mention an engagement to have lately happened between a body of Indians and the rebel army under Gen. Wayne, in the course of which, a single combat was fought between the Indian Chief and the Rebel General. Wayne's horse was shot under him, and the tomahawk of Emistefeco was uplifted, and in the moment of putting an end to his existence, when a rebel dragoon came up, and saved the life of his commander, by dispatching the Indian warrior with his sword.
July 30. The town of Savannah was evacuated by the British troops on the 11th of this month; the public stores and effects of the inhabitants who have come away, being previously removed down to the island of Tybee. On the 20th of the same month, a fleet sailed from Tybee for Jamaica, with about 1800 Negroes, and other property of the loyalists, under convoy of the Zebra frigate and Vulture sloop of war. Two days afterwards another fleet, having on board about 3000 Negroes, sailed for St. Augustine. On the evening of the same day, Col. Brown, with a part of his regiment, the militia troops of horse dismounted, some militia infantry, and about 300 Indians, the whole making together nearly the number of 1500 persons, embarked in small vessels to proceed to East-Florida, by the inland navigation.
The whole number of persons, independent of his Majesty's troops, who have left Georgia in consequence of the evacuation of Savannah, is said to be nearly 7000—of which number 5000 are Negroes, who, according to some accounts, are at least three fourths of all the slaves in the province of Georgia. Among the 2000 whites who have likewise come away, are almost all the wealthy inhabitants of the province, and many of the lower classes of the people.
PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 7.
Last evening one of the people late belonging to the sloop Industry, of Providence (Rhode Island) arrived in town from Shrewsbury: He informs, that last Tuesday
morning, off Sandy Hook, they discovered a fleet of 15 sail of British line of battle ships; that the sloop was soon after chased and run ashore near Shrewsbury, by an armed brig, and lost, but the crew were saved. The whole of Tuesday and Wednesday the above fleet, and near one hundred sail of other vessels, ships and brigs, were seen to pass the Hook, apparently from the southward, but could not learn certainly where they were from—While some conjecture that the above fleet is from Charlestown, with the troops &c. of that garrison, others say, that the transports must be from England, for the purpose of taking off the garrison of New York.
GENERAL ORDERS
Head Quarters, Newburgh, August 23, 1782.
The army being now to assemble and take the field, in the immediate presence of their General, he announces his resolution, that perfect discipline shall be observed, as well on parade, in the duties of the camp, and the service of guards, as in the general economy and order of the line. The General expects, the same unabating ardour and attention will be given in perfecting the troops in the exercises and manœuvres, which have already been productive of such astonishing effects; relying on the ability, experience, and zeal of his officers, the patience, docility and fortitude of the soldiers, he promises himself that the good conduct of his army will hereafter be cited as a pattern of imitation for military men, and that their past services and achievements are but a presage of a richer harvest of glory in prospect.
Under such auspicious circumstances, he contemplates with infinite pleasure, the moment which shall again unite our standards with those of our generous and gallant allies, in the face of the common enemy, that happy moment, he flatters himself, is not far distant."
September 11. Last Saturday afternoon Mr. J. Sansum arrived here express from General Greene's Head-Quarters, near Charlestown, which he left on the 6th ult. He brings us a confirmation of the agreeable and important news of the certainty of a speedy evacuation of that place, near 600 persons having come out of the town on terms prescribed for them by government; other particulars are contained in the following extracts of letters from that quarter, dated the 15th of August.
"We expect to take possession of Charlestown by the first of October next, perhaps sooner, as the British are making every preparation to evacuate it: the vessels were all careening, part of the cannon removed, and the powder, &c. &c. Perhaps sooner than the first of October, I say, as they momentarily expect the transports from New-York for that purpose.
"The loyalists have had their meetings at the state house in consequence of the occasion, and proposed that they, with the refugees (a parcel of the most abandoned wretches, and may be justly stiled the refuse of the earth) and the Ethiopians would man the lines and defend the town, but this they have miscarried in; as Gen. Leslie told them, he could not answer to leave behind him any of the cannon, ammunition, arms or stores belonging to the King: he has also ordered a return of all kinds of ammunition and other warlike stores in the possession of persons who have them for sale; which indicates he is resolved that
nothing of the kind shall be left for their diabolical purpose; I am credibly informed, he says, that if the King's troops cannot defend the place, how could a rabble expect to do it against the forces of the United States. Balingal, Champney and others were great orators at their meetings; some of them threatened, if they could not keep the town, to plunder the poor inhabitants of what little they have left, and then destroy the metropolis; but in this also they are disappointed—as the General declares that a proper guard will be left on the embarkation of the troops, with orders to put them to death who should commit any depredation or plunder.
"Such as have taken protection from the British, have experienced more than all the plagues of Egypt."
The Virginia Gazette of the 31st ult. says,—there is arrived in York river, two cutters from Bergen in Norway; also a vessel from the Havannah, loaded with rum and salt, and about seven thousand dollars. On her passage she captured a packet from New York for Charlestown, which has arrived in a safe port; the dispatches were thrown overboard.
Extract of a letter from Port au Prince, dated August 14, 1782.
"By an arrival just from Old France, we have received the agreeable advice that M. de Suffrein has obtained a compleat victory over the enemy in the East Indies, having taken six seventy-fours and thirty sail of merchantmen, with cargoes to a considerable amount. You may depend that this is as true as the defeat of Count de Grasse."
TRENTON, September 11.
We are informed that last week Capt. Douglass, with a party of militia of Gloucester county, attacked a refugee boat in Egg-Harbour, with 18 refugees on board, of whom 14 were shot or drowned: the remaining four made their escape. This was the same banditti, it is said, that lately robbed Mr. Fenimore, as mentioned in our paper of the 28th ult.
Last Tuesday Enoch Price, of Hanover, accidentally fell into a distill of boiling water, out of which he extricated himself in a few moments and plunged into a spring of cold water, but the scald was so severe, that he languished a few days, in the most excruciating torment, and then expired.
F I S H - K I L L, September 19.
On Saturday last, his Excellency the Count de Rochambeau, Commander in Chief of the French army, arrived with his suite at Verplank's-Point; he was saluted on his approach by the American army, drawn up for that purpose in two lines fronting each other, and extending from Head-Quarters to the ferry. After his arrival at Head-Quarters, where he was most cordially received by our Commander in Chief, the army defiled before him, saluting as they passed. Each individual of our army appeared peculiarly happy in the opportunity of paying this public testimony of their respect for so distinguished a character, and in the immediate prospect of uniting their standards again with those of our gallant auxiliaries. —The French army halted a few days at Haverstraw; they are now passing King's Ferry, to encamp in the vicinage of Peek's-Kill; from whence it is probable they will soon remove to the neighbourhood of White Plains.
On Wednesday the 12th, the ship Herr Adams, Capt. Smedley, arrived at Philadelphia from Holland. She left the Texel July 28. She brings official advices to Congress, of the acknowledgment of American independence by Holland—of the Hon. John Adams being received at the Hague as Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States at that Court.

On Monday last, we learn, General Carleton, the young Prince, and a considerable army, with six field pieces, came out as far as Phillipsborough, to take an airing; from whence they soon returned.—This excursion may be serviceable to their health, as those who are long cooped up in cities, are much bettered by the country air.—In the mean time 30 or 40 of their men took the favourable opportunity to desert.
NEWPORT, September 7.
A correspondent, who styles himself Homo, says, "By late advices from New York we are informed, that so great is the prevailing influence of a certain religion, acknowledged by a modern sect, and very well known by the name of SHAKERS, that no less a personage than his Britannic Majesty hath lately espoused it with such fervour, that the utmost exertions were necessary to bring his fingers to command a pen with sufficient direction to enable him to sign intelligibly the late commission of Mr. Grenville, for the acknowledgement of American Independence at the Court of Versailles; that it was hourly expected his agitation would rise to such a height as to commence whirling!—Should this take place, and in the paroxysm of rotation he should happen to step from the axis, or central point, astronomers have predicted, that the power of gravitation may probably precipitate him back again to Hanover.—The same advertisement further adds, that his Vicegerent in America, Sir Guy, hath also lately manifested strong symptoms of penitency, not unlike those of his royal Master;—that on reading his pious lesson of August 2d. to his refugee auditory in New-York, when he came to these words, "That the independence of the Thirteen Provinces should be proposed by him (Meaning Mr. Grenville) in the first instance;" Belshazzar like, "the joints of his loins were loosed, his knees smote one against the other."—Add to this, 'tis whispered by a female correspondent, that the waters gushed forth from him!—The above emphatical language, which reduced his Excellency to such a dilemma, I am told by an eminent Divine, bears great analogy, in the original, to Mene, Mene Tekel, &c. so descriptively interpreted by the Prophet Daniel to a Monarch of as infamous memory as his successor George the Illd."
BOSTON, September 26.
On Monday, 11th inst. JOHN MANLY, Esq; Captain in the American navy, was appointed to the command of the Continental frigate HAGUE, (late the Dean) in this harbour agreeable to an order from the Hon. ROBERT MORRIS, Esq; principal Agent of Marine, investing laid command in the senior officer resident in the department: Capt. Manly, at 2 P. M. of the same day, repaired on board, attended by his principal officers, and was welcomed with united acclamations—13 guns were fired in honor of the appointment—the ship beautifully decorated with colours—and every possible demonstration of joy expressed a general satisfaction. After mustering the people on the quarter deck, Capt. Manly was pleased to address his officers and men as follows:
"Gentlemen,
"Having been appointed to the command of the Continental frigate Hague, on board of which, as officers commissioned, warrant or petty, you are severally acting in the service of your country, be pleased to accept my assurances, that it is with the greatest pleasure I return you my thanks for the cordial affection with which I have been received; and as it shall always be my constant endeavor to preserve a proper and becoming respect towards you, so I am confident that it will be returned from every class, and reciprocal esteem induce universal harmony."
"My good lads and jolly seamen,
"The many marks of peculiar satisfaction, which your actions and countenances shew on this occasion, affords me a certain presage of a very agreeable command, where the strictness of discipline, which is so essentially necessary to be maintained, shall not preclude you from the liberty of making known your just complaints, they always meeting with that redress founded on regulation, and which it is my duty to afford, not only as a commander, but the friend of my people:—And to inspire that confidence which is so necessary between all orders in service together, rest assured, upon the faith of a public officer, that all the engagements which Congress have made to you, shall punctually be fulfilled; with respect to provisions, slops, wages, gratuities, prize monies, and all other advantages, which you are or shall be entitled to enjoy.—On your parts, I expect a ready and prompt obedience be paid to the commands of your officers, at all times, and that a zeal for duty, with a friendship each for the other, unite you in a laudable ambition to merit my warm approbation."
We learn from New York, that a fleet of ten sail of the line and a number of transports, having on board refugees, negroes, &c. were to sail from thence last Tuesday, supposed to be bound for Halifax. The refugee post at Bergen neck is evacuated and burnt.
A number of the German troops at New-York are embarked on board transports; but whether destined for the West Indies, Halifax, or to prevent detention (which at this time is very prevalent amongst them) we cannot say.
Yesterday arrived in port, a brig with oil, prize to the Alliance; she has taken 3 other prizes, which are soon expected.
Tuesday evening arrived here from the State of Vermont, and committed to goal, the famous Samuel Ely, principal fomentor of the late riots in the counties of Hampshire and Berkshire.
S A L E M, September 26.
The privateer ship General Greene, commanded by Capt. Crowell, and the brig Diana, commanded by Capt. Deland, both belonging to this port, and captured by the British frigate Perseverance, were carried into New-York on the 3d instant.
On Tuesday, last week, at four o'clock in the morning, an excellent horse started from the Bell tavern in Danvers, to travel eighty miles in ten hours on a wager, between the owner of the animal and a knight of the stirrup, of forty dollars, to receive eighty if the horse performed it. The course occupied on the occasion, was an extent of two miles, marked out on the public road in Danvers. Notwithstanding the many embarrassments thrown in his way by the unskilfulness of those who had the management of the horse, and some of them were so great as even to have the appearance of design and cruelty, this generous beast, by dint of courage, proceeded seventy six miles in nine hours and an half (in a very sultry, hot day) and there his strength utterly failed.—It will be a consolation to our benevolent readers to be informed, that death soon released him from all future outrages, and that the inhuman gamblers met with the cordial execration of every feeling spectator.
Yesterday arrived at Beverly a brig of 16 guns, late in the service of his Britannic Majesty. The crew of the Hope (a small privateer lately captured by her) being prisoners on board her, to the number of 21, rose upon the brig's people, in number 62, while laying in a small harbour on the Labrador shore; overcame them, and took the command of the vessel, with which they have had the good fortune to arrive safe in port.
PORTSMOUTH, September 28.
Last evening arrived in town, from Boston, his Excellency Count Vaudteuil, commander of the fleet of our illustrious Ally, lately arrived on this coast, with his Suite.
By an express from General Washington to Governor Hancock, which he immediately forwarded to the Admiral, we are informed, that the British fleet which lately sailed from New York, are bound to the West Indies.
