A BANK.
ANY gentlemen in this or the neigh- bouring towns, who choose to become stock holders in a bank to be established at Boston, will be so obliging as to call on the subscriber, who has some of the subscription papers containing the proposals; the utility of such institutions, and the advantage to stock holders, will be a sufficient induce- ment to gentlemen to become proprietors in this bank. JOHN LANGDON.

CONSTANTINOPLE, September 10.
The plague continues its ravages here without interruption; yesterday 173 per- sons were carried off by it. The Asiatic troops continue to file off towards Europe. The Divan assembles twice a day; and our Bashaws, who command in the frontier places, have been provided with a prodigi- ous quantity of stores and provisions.
L O N D O N.
October 21. Several ships, laden with goods originally intended for the subjects of the American States, have had their pla- ces of consignment changed to Nova Scotia, where it is expected that British commodities will sell to great advantage among the new settlers.
The proclamation of peace seems to have received over the kingdom with great- ness. No illuminations—no intoxica- tions—no jocund healths—all bare and dry parade, for the peace is what every man hears of, but no one sees.
The French being obliged by edict to take the bills of Cass. D'Esconte, seems to say, that the King of France has a power in greater than that of the Pope himself, for he can absolve only from sins, whereas the other absolves from debt, by saying it with nothing—O! England, didst thou know thy blessings!
There are several American Agents in Germany, looking up for emigrants, as ser- geants do for recruits. The expences allotted for conveying each individual to the Con- tinent is estimated at ten pounds; and the terms on arrival are a portion of land for lease of three lives, and one year's improve- ed rent as a renewal fine. These terms accord with the German custom.
Many of the soldiers returned from Gib- raltar, do not seem to look as if they had been well rewarded for their bravery on that rock. They may talk indeed of red hot bullets, gun boats and boiling hot water, and may be heard with pleasure; but as Justice Gredy says "They had rather have their hands in the dumpling."
October 22. A letter from Barbadoes brings advice, that the African Prince, a French ship that was slaving on the coast of Guinea, and had got 120 slaves on board, that they rose upon the crew and murdered
them all but the captain and two of his men, who escaped in their boat, and landed at Goree, where they found the garrison in a starving condition; that the few convicts that were sent out from England, had been turned loose, having no provision to give them; that three women, one in years, perished for want. The French Captain and his two men got a passage on board a slave ship, which brought them to Barbadoes.
From the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland's speech at the opening the sessions of the Irish parliament, it is clear, that Ireland is to be indulged in the following demands:
 1. A Court of Admiralty, under the authority of an Irish statute.  2. An independent Post Office, under the same authority. 
Heretofore, the Courts of Admiralty in Ireland sat under delegated authority, by virtue of Commissions from the Admiralty of Great Britain, of course the dernier resort lay to the Court of Admiralty here.
There is not at present an established Post Office in Ireland, but offices under the direction of the Postmaster General of Great Britain; of course the revenue raised in Ire- land by the carriage of letters went into the aggregate fund of the Post Office of Great Britain, whereas it will now compose part of the revenue of Ireland.
Political State of the Stocks.
 Good of the Country—Nothing done.  Support of Public Credit—Books shut.  National Glory—Reduced.  Administration & Opposition—Consolidated.  Trade and Commerce—No price.  War—Under par.  Peace—Ditto. 
So spirited have been the memorials already sent to the American Congress, on behalf of the Loyalists, that there is great reason to think the most happy consequences will be the result, & that the American Legis- lators will see the justice as well as wisdom of relaxing their rigour against a set of men who have been consistent and uniform in their conduct, however unfortunate—a cha- racter that should recommend men even to their most inveterate enemies, in preference to those who, being too lukewarm openly to take any side, have been able in due time to lean that way which their own in- terest pointed to. There are numbers of persons of that description now fostered in America, and even admitted into posts of importance, while those more worthy cha- racters, who have always acted in a consis- tent opposition to American authorities, have such outrageous anathemas pronounced against them.

§ Piermont. §
Notwithstanding the delinquent pro- prietors of Piermont, have been by me their Collector frequently notified of the Tax assessed on the original Proprie- tors several Lots and Common Land in said Town; and the time appointed for sale of so much of their Lands at a pub- lic Vendue, as would pay the same, with incidental charges; yet several of them still neglect; and at some of their requests, the Vendue was put off to a future day to give them longer time to pay the money; accordingly, it has been repeatedly ad- journed; these are hereby to notify all such, who are still delinquent in whole or in part, to pay the same at my dwelling house in Hampton, before Wednesday the 24th instant, otherwise so much of their Land, without any distinction of persons, will be sold at public Vendue, on said day at Capt. John Weeks's, innholder in Greenland, at one o'clock in the Afternoon, as to pay their said Tax and Charges.

...the Commer- ...kingdom much longer; nor do I believe any person will be found hardy enough to attempt it with any prof- pect of success." These desponding senti- ments, so contradictory to the maxim which forbids us ever to despair of the republic, we hope will not be verified.
RICHMOND, (Virginia) Nov 29.
We have an account from high autho- rity, that the British are taking steps to mo- nopolize the trade of these states, and that they are aided by plans formed by the Re- fugees.—A pamphlet is in town, said to be written by Eden, the Commissioner, and others, which fully discovers the object of the nation; and shews the reasons why they have been backward in trading here.—It is even insisted that the vessels of one of our states shall not carry the produce of another; and it is judged impolitic to have any com- mercial treaty at present with us.—The Ministry appear to have adopted the plan, and therefore issued the Proclamation re- pecting the trade to the West Indies from this continent.
PHILADELPHIA, December 13.
On Monday last his Excellency General Washington arrived here from New York. His Excellency was met at Frankford by his Excellency the President of this State, the Hon. Financier, Generals Sinclair and Hand, the Philadelphia Troop of Horse, and a number of the Citizens, who had the plea- sure of accompanying him into the city. His arrival was announced by the discharge of cannon, the bells were rung, and the people testified their satisfaction at once more seeing their illustrious Chief, by repeated acclamations.
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Sept. 4.
"You may inform all those who have had bills of the navy drawn from America, that measures have been taken and funds provided for the punctual payment of all such bills as have been registered with the consent of the bearer. Two gentlemen, whose names I do not recollect, lately arri- ved in this city, found the Treasurers ready to discharge immediately a sum of about half a million, for amount of such bills, which they had in their hands. These gentlemen were formerly contractors for the French army in America, and had also purchased many bills at a great discount: the whole amount will be paid to them in a very short time."
A number of the citizens in the western country have petitioned the Legislature of Virginia to relinquish all claims to the terri- tory westward of the Allegany mountains, and to erect a new state in that district.
Extract of a letter from an American Lady in England, to her friend in this city, dated September 6, 1783.
"I sincerely congratulate you on the peace, and hope that an event so glorious to the United States may be rendered perma- nent and lasting, by a free, well settled go- vernment, and a perfect unanimity among yourselves; that little private interests may always give way to public good; that all former party spirit and animosity may be done away, and every one strive who shall
...you may be ena- ...a complete system of legisla- tion. I hope you will most nobly disappoint your enemies, who are prophesying and enjoying the idea of abals and commo- tions among yourselves, and are waiting with the most anxious solicitude for such an event to take place.—It was laughable enough to see what pleasure lighted up in the counte- nances of a certain description of people on hearing of the little riot you had in the city of Philadelphia with the soldiery; they magnified it to the annihilation of Congress, and the entire destruction of the common- wealth—That they may be utterly disap- pointed in their hopes, and that you may shew as much virtue and public spirit in set- tling your government, as you did in de- stroying the shackles of tyranny & my ardent wish."
The ship Three Crowns, Capt. Hallin- quist, from Bristol, run ashore in the night of the 27th ult. about 4 miles east of Lit- tle Egg Harbour. The vessel soon went to pieces; and, by the severity of the wea- ther and difficulty of getting ashore from the wreck, the chief mate, ten seamen and a woman perished; the captain, supercargo and ten seamen were saved, after suffering almost every hardship incident to such a wretched situation.
NEW-YORK, December 11.
By a vessel just arrived from the West- Indies, we have certain intelligence that the English merchants are obtaining foreign papers in a clandestine manner, in order to carry on a trade with us (which they are conscious would be extremely improper to do under their own colours, while their ports are shut against our vessels;) particu- larly a snow and a brig belonging to Anti- gua, have procured a set of French papers at St. Kitts, and are destined to some part of this continent. If we were to trade with any nation upon any other terms but that of reciprocal privilege (and such as are mani- festly detrimental to us) certainly Great Bri- tain is not the nation such a preference be- longs to.
SPRINGFIELD, Dec. 16.
It is reported as an undoubted fact, that Mr. JAMES RIVINGTON, printer at New- York, was, as soon as our troops entered the city, protected in person, and property, by a guard, and that he will be allowed to re- side in the country, for reasons best known to the great men at helm.
The people in the western part of this state, who stile themselves Shaking Quakers, and who suppose they, and they only, have discovered the true mode of worship, have of late (it is said) utterly disclaimed the use of any kind of garment when engaged in their religious exercises; presenting them- selves unpolluted by the vain and unchrist- ian articles of dress, and performing all their dancing, turnings, jumpings, tumblings, twistings and wrigglings, in that condition.
BOSTON, December 25.
Last Thursday arrived here Capt. Joseph Doble, in a brig, in 5 days from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
By Capt. Doble, we have the pleasing sa- tisfaction to assure our Readers, that Capt. Callahan, of this port, arrived at Halifax a few days before Capt. Doble failed, in ten weeks passage from England. Capt. Calla- han, in a severe gale of wind, on his passage suffered the loss of his mainmast, which was
island, the French Com- St. Christopher, by way of re- ordered. That all the subjects of his Bri- tannic Majesty, of whatever condition or quality they may be, actually residing in the islands of St. Christopher & Nevis, who have not taken the oath required by the capitula- tions of the said islands when they were ta- ken by the arms of his Most Christian Ma- jesty, do hold themselves in readiness to quit the said islands at the first order they receive.
PORTSMOUTH, December 27.
On Thursday the 18th instat, departed this life, at Exeter, much lamented, Mr. ZECCHARIAH FOWLE, 1 st wife, aged 24 years. He has left a widow and three children, to mourn with sorrow the loss of a kind hus- band and an affectionate parent.
O D E,
On the arrival of his Excellency General WASHINGTON and Governor CLINTON, in New-York, on the 25th of Nov 1783.
Tune—"He comes! He comes!"
T HEY come! they come! the Heroes come! With sounding fife, and thund'ring drum, Their ranks advance in bright array, The Heroes of AMERICA. He comes! 'tis mighty WASHINGTON! Words fail to tell aught he has done; Our Hero, Guardian, Father, Friend! His fame can never, never end. He comes! he comes! 'tis CLINTON come! Justice her ancient seat resumes. From shore to shore let shouts resound, For Justice comes with Freedom crown'd. She comes! the fair and good Virginian, And bids grim Want and Idleness depart. Oh! blooming Virgin, with us stay, And bless, oh! bless AMERICA. Now Freedom has our wishes crown'd, Let flowing goblets pass around; We'll drink to Freedom's favorite Son, Health, Peace, & Joy to WASHINGTON. A remarkable Instance of sensible Repartee. * Lunatic.
A Gentleman of the name of Man, who resided at Deptford, and had a place in the custom house, having constantly finished his business at two o'clock, used generally to go home then to dinner: his walk he frequently met a gentleman who lived in that neighbourhood who was known to be disordered in his intellects, but whose conduct had always been inoffensive. happened one day that the mad man met him on the causeway, and having a large stick in his hand, when he came up oppo- site to Mr. Man, he made a sudden stop, and striking one end of the stick to the ground, whilst he held it with both his hands, he sternly pronounced "Who are you, Sir?" The other, not at all alarmed, and willing to sooth his assailant with a pun, replied, "Why Sir, I am a double man; I am man by name and man by nature." "Are you so," says the insane; "why I am a man beside myself, and we two will fight you two." Immedi- ately upon which he knocked Mr. Man into the ditch, and deliberately walked off.

T HE latest improvement of the female head-dress, is a long curl of a ram's horn shape, continued from the ear almost to the top of the head. This gives the genteel wearer a most ravishing and sat- isfying resemblance.

the Commer- negotiating between G. States of America, is definitively and that your Excellency would signify such your pleasure to the Officers of his Majesty's Customs of this Island, or that your Excellency would take such other measure for our relief, as to your Excellen- cy's wisdom shall seem meet."
The Governor's answer was in these words: "Gentlemen, I have carefully attended to the purport of your address, and am very sorry to tell you, that it is totally out of my power to take any steps in this business, but those of strictly obeying his Majesty's Proclamation, which is backed likewise by an Act of Par- liament, nor doing my utmost to have it obeyed by all within my government."
"I flatter myself, Gentlemen, you do not doubt of my warmest wishes and incli- nation to serve this community, where it is compatible with my honor and duty."

Jonathan Moulton,
Of Hampton,
BEING fully sensible of the difficulty of persons in general, making payments at this time in cash, especially by those living in the country; but as this is the usual season of the year for disposal of country produce, said Moulton takes this opportunity and method to acquaint all those who are indebted to him, either in the lower towns, or in the country, by notes, bonds, or otherwise, for money; that he is ready to receive any kind of merchantable country produce, viz. Beef, or beef cattle, pork, wheat, rye, Indian corn or peas, and allow the current price, and take it either at his house in Hampton, or at his store at Centre-Harbour, in New-Hampton, or at his plantation in Orford.—And those who are disposed to make payment, are desired to deliver the same any time between the 15th and 30th of this instant, at either of those places, as may be most convenient for them, as proper attendance will be given at each place.—And for their encouragement of making payment as aforesaid, he will deduct ten per cent. of the nominal sum; and to such as will pay only one half, he will abate six per cent.
As said Moulton's interest and business requires large sums yearly to be paid by him for taxes, and many other remittances; he earnestly requests those that are indebted to him in manner aforesaid, that they will particularly attend to the foregoing requisition, or rather an invitation, and comply with one so reasonable. As he is under such a necessity, he hopes that no one so indebted, will fail of making some considerable payment: And as said Moulton is possessed of a number of notes given for corn, wheat, &c. at a price commonly called the old way, viz. in corn at 3s. per bushel, wheat at 6s. per bushel, beet at 20s. per hundred, pork at 30s. per hundred; and notwithstanding at the time of making the contract, and at the time of payment, and place of delivery, those articles would have sold at about double of those prices for silver money; yet, considering the circumstances of many people indebted to him, living in the counties of Strafford and Grafton, and to testify that he does not desire to take that advantage of them, and to encourage them to make payment within six weeks from this date, he informs them that he will receive the same articles, and at the simple prices as specified in their respective obligations, and at the places of delivery; or cash at the same rate, in lieu thereof.—And for the encouragement of all those who are indebted to him in the county of Rockingham, by such notes or bonds, he will make a generous deduction to them, if they will pay the cash within said time: But those concerned, who neglect complying with so reasonable a request, he hopes will not complain if payment be exacted of them according to the tenor of their notes.
Hampton, December 4, 1783.
ALL persons that have any demands on the estate of Samuel Thurston, late of Epping, gentleman, deceased, are hereby desired to bring in their claims: And all persons indebted to said estate are requested to make immediate payment to the subscriber, attorney to Elizabeth Thurston administratrix on said estate.
