From the NEWPORT MERCURY.
Mr. PRINTER,
M ANY people can scarce imagine how it happens that in almost every country of Europe, the Americans are admired and their cause approved; while the conduct of Great Britain is condemned and their people despised. The following letter of Dr. Moore's may serve to explain it.—He travelled with the Duke of Hamilton, and published a series of letters on his return to England, which are much admired, out of which I have selected this, and if you think the whole, or any part of it, would afford entertainment to your readers, it is very much at your service.
The writer of this has visited almost as many parts of Europe as Doctor Moore, and saw, with peculiar satisfaction, that the most distinguished characters in every nation justified our cause and applauded our mode of resistance.
A TRAVELLER.
Doctor MOORE's last letter, taken from his work entitled a view of society and manners in France, Switzerland and Germany.
VIENNA.
O UR disputes with the colonies have been a prevailing topic of conversation wherever we have been since we left England. The warmth with which this subject is handled increases every day.—At present the inhabitants of the continent seem as impatient as those of Great Britain, for news from the other side of the Atlantic, but with this difference, that here they are all of one mind.—All praying for success to the Americans, and rejoicing in every piece of bad fortune which happens to our army.
“That the French should be pleased with commotions which must distress and weaken Great-Britain, and may transfer to them an equal right to every advantage we gained by the last war, is not surprising; but why the inhabitants of every other country should take part against England, and become partisans of America, is not so apparent.
“I should forgive them, and even join in sentiments, with them as far as my regard for the honor and happiness of my country would permit, if this proceeded from an attachment to liberty and a generous partiality for men who repel oppression and struggle for independency. But this is not the case.—Those who can reap no possible advantage from the revolt of America, those who have not an idea of civil liberty, and would even be sorry to see it established in their own country, those who have no other knowledge of the dispute, than that it is ruining England, all join as allies to the Americans, not from love to them but evidently from dislike to us.
“When I first observed this hostile disposition, I thought it might proceed from their being offended at the preference the English give to their own country and countrymen above all others; but this conceit we have in common with every other nation on the globe, all of whom cherish the same favourable opinion of themselves.
“This satisfaction at the misfortunes of Great Britain, cannot arise therefore from a cause which is applicable to every other country. It may indeed in some measure proceed from envy of the riches and jealousy of the power of the English nation, but I believe, still more from our taking no trouble to cultivate the affections of foreigners, and to diminish that envy and ill will which great prosperity often creates. We are apt to build our panegyric of Old England on the ruin and wretchedness of all other countries. Italy is too hot, the sea miserable and the whole country swarms with monks and vermin. In France, the people are slaves and coxcombs, the music execrable, they boil their meat to rags, and there is no porter, and very little strong ale in the country. In Germany some of their princes have little more to spend than an English gentleman, they use stoves instead of grates; they eat sour crout and speak high Dutch. The Danes and Swedes are reminded, that they are at too great a distance from the equator; and many fly hints are given concerning the inconveniences of a cold climate. Of all things I should think it most prudent to be silent on this last topic, as so many paltry states will take precedence of Old England whenever it is the established etiquette that rank shall be determined by climate.
“The universal satisfaction which appears all over Europe at the idea of England's being stript of her colonies, certainly does not entirely originate from political sentiments, but in a great degree, from that reserve which keeps Englishmen from cultivating the friendship of foreigners, that pride which hinders them from stooping to humour prejudices, that indifference which makes them disregard the approbation of others, and betrays the contempt they are too ready to show for customs or sentiments different from their own.
“The same causes which have made foreigners take part against us in the dispute with America, induce those of them who are rich, and can spend their revenues out of their own country, to prefer France to England for that purpose.
“Exclusive of pecuniary advantages it flatters the natural vanity of the French, to find their society preferred to that of all other people, and particularly of their proud rival. Let them enjoy this advantage—let them draw to their capital the idle, the dissipated and the effeminate of every country in Europe:—but for heaven's sake I do
you and your friends in parliament fall on some measure to prevent them from engaging the affections of our industrious brethren of America.
“Such an event would be attended with severe consequences to Great Britain, and probably to America. There are, however, so many repelling points in the American and French characters, that I cannot imagine the adhesion between them could be of long duration should it take place.
“You may naturally suppose from some things in this letter that the people here (Vienna) are in a particular manner inveterate against England, in the dispute with America. But in reality this is not the case; for although in general they favour America, I have not seen so much moderation on that question as at Vienna. The Emperor, when some persons asked which side he favoured, replied very ingeniously, je suis par metier royaliste.
“When the Duke of Hamilton was conversing with the king of Prussia concerning the necessity of persevering in the attempt to vanquish the Americans, he remarked that it would debase the majesty of Great Britain to check the progress of her arms until she had brought the colonies at her feet. Perhaps so (answered the discerning Frederick) but a power may break its own neck, by endeavouring to bend the knee of an opponent, and when my brother George has attended his battles beyond the cabinet, and personally fought them half so often as I have fought mine, he will consider peace as the first and last blessing of his heart.”

Mr. Franklin, Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, dined on Saturday last, for the first time, with the Count de Aranda, Ambassador of Spain, together with Mr. Jay, who has long resided at the Court of Madrid, and who is one of the Commissioners to treat for peace with Great Britain. The reception which the Count de Aranda gave Messrs. Franklin and Jay, as Ministers of the United States, strongly indicates that Spain will soon acknowledge the Independence of America.

Extract of a letter from Versailles, August 4. "Mr. Fitzherbert, who has resided, for these three or four years past, as Minister of the King of England, at Brussels, arrived here five days ago, charged with full powers to treat of peace with the four powers at war with Great Britain. He was to have this evening, at the breaking up of the Council, his first audience with Count de Vergennes. This new negotiator comes directly from Brussels, where his instructions were sent to him. He has with him, as Mr. Grenville had, two state messengers. Mr. Vaughan, a merchant in Jamaica, who also has been a few days since in Paris, is a private man, who has spoken as yet but with Mr. Franklin."

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated May 31.
"The Court has at last received the original dispatches of the Count de Grasse, respecting the unhappy affair of the 12th of April. They are not yet published; but it is certain the King has been sensibly affected with the news. But resuming by degrees that firmness that marks his character, he assembled the Council, when he spoke, it is said, in these terms:
"Gentlemen,
"We must not suffer ourselves to be cast down by this first reverse; we ought, on the contrary, to redouble our zeal to repair the consequences of it. Mr. de Castres I give orders for the speedy construction of twelve new ships. I shall take care that the brave men who fell in the action shall be replaced. I do not however pretend that the surplus of the expences of this augmentation shall fall on my people, I would sooner pledge my jewels to supply it. Let them go to work immediately in the dock-yards; I shall take care that money shall not be wanting. My enemies are mistaken if they rely on this success to rise in their demands. Mr. de Vergennes! you know that I will make no alteration in the condition on which I have resolved to establish peace. I will have the honor of my arms repaired."
"A language so manly, so worthy of a king made the deepest impression on a nation naturally sensible and lively.
"We cannot on this occasion forbear mentioning some words that display the sensibility and humanity of that young Monarch. They were lately talking at Court about the ships lost in that fatal engagement:—Would to God, cried the Monarch, that we had lost nothing more than these ships! That loss is easily repaired with money and labour; but who shall restore me those brave sailors who have sacrificed their lives in my service!" The Queen shares this misfortune with her Royal Consort. On that melancholy occasion she countermanded a concert that was to be given in her apartment."
L I V E R P O O L, July 10.
By a private letter from Charlestown, South Carolina, we learn, that one Abraham de Palba, a Portuguese Jew, died at his country residence near that city, in the 142d year of his age, being born at Lisbon the year that the Duke of Braganza was advanced to the throne of Portugal. Leaving no relations he has bequeathed a fortune of near 30,000l. to charitable uses.
R I C H M O N D, October 5.
We are credibly informed, that the King of France has lately laid these States under new obligations of gratitude to him, having been pleased to remit all the interest already due, or which may hereafter become due, for the large loans which the Court of France have from time to time generously advanced to the United States; and not satisfied with such distinguished liberality, his Majesty has relinquished his right to the speedy payment of the sums borrowed, and which would soon become due, agreeable to contract, but has declared his intention that no demand shall be made for the same till the end of the war, and that then the United States shall be allowed twelve years to pay off the debt. But the benevolence of this great Monarch towards an oppressed people is not even bounded here, for it is said that he not only advanced, but has since actually remitted, all the expences attending the negotiation for a loan for us with the Dutch.
Since the acknowledgement of our independence at the Hague, we hear the subscription for a loan to the States has been filled with astonishing rapidity, and it is said that no less than ten million of livres have been actually subscribed at four per cent. interest, the first payment of the interest to be made in November next.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman at General Greene's camp, dated Sept. 2.
"Orders have been repeated for the evacuation of Charlestown; they have not transports enough to convey their stores, and provide for the refugees who are to go to East Florida. We have good information they have fallen upon this method:—they will evacuate Charlestown in a few days, and leave the refugees at Beaufort on Port Royal Island, a little to the southward, well fortified. Here they are to remain till the transports can return from New York, and in the mean time collect corn, which is much wanted, from the Islands in the vicinity. Probably we shall be in town about 10 days hence."
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Aug. 9.
"The journal of the combined fleet, from the 15th to the 27th ult. has been received here. The 16th, at day break, the weather being very hazy, the English squadron was like to fall in with ours; and had the fog lasted but a quarter of an hour longer, the fleets would have been mixed; but Admiral Howe had just time enough to perceive the danger he was going into; he withdrew, and according to custom, without leaving us the possibility of attacking any of his vessels. The 19th and 20th the English squadron was yet fruitlessly chased; the sight of it was lost on the day following; and Don Louis de Cordova having received orders to draw closer to our coasts, to protect the convoy of St. Domingo, which was expected, the fleets have not met one another since. The 27th the fleet received the packets from the Court, which
permitted them to make sail for Cadez, where they will be able to arrive before the 15th instant, if wind favours them.
"The Spaniards will find before the Straights 8 or 9 of their ships, which, being joined to the 27 of Don Louis de Cordova, and to 12 French ships, will form a fleet pretty respectable, to make head to the English, in case they undertake to disturb the siege of Gibraltar with 35 or 36 vessels, which they are able to arm, since the convoy of Jamaica has luckily arrived to them."
Among the numerous arrivals of trading vessels at different ports on this continent, ten have lately got safe into Baltimore, from the West Indies. It is a pleasing reflection, that notwithstanding the powerful fleet of the enemy now on our coast, they cannot prevent our receiving the supplies necessary for the public use or the necessities of the people.
C H A T H A M, October 16.
By the most recent and authentic accounts from New York we learn, that seven regiments are ordered to embark, of which the 22d and 57th, now lying on Staten Island are of the number, and that their remaining force will not exceed 9 regiments.
A great number of refugee families are preparing to leave New York; and the best informed gentlemen on the lines assure us, that great preparations are making which they suppose for a general evacuation. David Matthews, the Mayor, and several other active loyalists, have taken vessels for the transportation of themselves and families.
Desertion, at no time since the revolution, was ever more prevalent among the British, than at present.
F I S H K I L L, October 24.
We learn from New York, that the enemy are demolishing Number 8, near King's bridge, and that Delancey's corps, which was quartered under the protection of this work, is to take a safer position on the island.
H A R T F O R D, October 29.
The French army under the command of his Excellency Count Rochambeau, are now on their march to the Eastward. The first division will arrive here this day.
P R O V I D E N C E, October 19.
Tuesday last the privateer schooner Scammell, of Boston, arrived here.—She was last week drove on the Jersey shore by a British ship of the line, a frigate, and a sloop of war, when the enemy attempted to send their boats on board to destroy her; but the crew having got some of their guns on shore drove them off. The enemy afterwards began a heavy cannonade from their ships which was returned with such effect from the shore, that the British thought proper to share off and stand for Sandy Hook. The privateer was soon after got off, without receiving any material injury.
A judicious writer (under the signature of Hampden) in the London Courant of August 14, concludes a long and pathetic address to the inhabitants of London and Westminster with this elegant apostrophe: "O America! liberated, triumphant, independent—Nurse of Heroes—Asylum sacred to suffering humanity; grateful to me is it to reflect, that in every stage of this calamitous contest, my heart has felt, my tongue has confessed, THE JUSTICE OF THY CAUSE!"

By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled. PROCLAMATION.
IT being the indispensable duty of all nations, not only to offer up their supplications to Almighty God, the giver of all good, for his gracious assistance in a time of distress, but also in a solemn and public manner to give him praise for his goodness in general, and especially for great and signal interpositions of his providence in their behalf: therefore the United States in Congress assembled, taking into their consideration the many instances of divine goodness to these States, in the course of the important conflict in which they have been so long engaged; the present happy and promising state of public affairs; and the events of the war, in the course of the year now drawing to a close; particularly the harmony of the public Councils, which is so necessary to the success of the public cause; the perfect union and good understanding which has hitherto subsisted between them and their allies, notwithstanding the artful and unwearied attempts of the common enemy to divide them; the success of the arms of the United States, and those of their allies, and the acknowledgment of their independence by another European power, whose friendship and commerce must be of great and lasting advantage to these States: Do hereby recommend it to the inhabitants of these States in general, to observe, and request the several States to interpose their authority in appointing and commanding the observation of, THURSDAY , the twenty-eighth day of NOVEMBER next, as a day of solemn THANKSGIVING to GOD for all his mercies: and they do further recommend to all ranks, to testify their gratitude to God for his goodness, by a cheerful obedience to his laws, and by promoting, each in his station and by his influence, the practice of true and undefiled religion, which is the great foundation of public prosperity and national happiness.
Done in Congress, at Philadelphia, the eleventh day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty two, and of our Sovereignty and Independence, the 7th.

B O S T O N , October 31.
There are accounts in town, from New York, and news papers of as late a date as the 21st inst. which bring news from London to the 4th of Sept. These accounts say, That Mr. Fitzherbert, having proposed to the Court of France, a Congress of Plenipotentiaries, to negotiate a general peace, that Court willingly acceded to the measure but with this indispensable condition, that America should be previously acknowledged a free and independent State, and that Plenipotentiaries should be admitted on her part; from which it is inferred, that there will be no peace: That the Queen of Portugal has formally notified, by her Ambassador at London, her accession to the armed neutrality: that it is finally resolved New York shall not be evacuated during the war: that at a council of war held at Portsmouth, on the 24th of August, some differences had arisen among the naval officers, which had determined Lord Howe to hoist his flag on board the Foudroyant, and take the command in the North Sea, and not the fleet for the relief of Gibraltar: that
the fleet for that purpose, after every effort, consisted only of 34 sail of the line, and did not sail till the last of August; it is not said who was to command: that the Spanish Admiral, Don Louis de Cordova, fearing the English should steal a march upon him refused going into Brest to wood and water, but had gone for Cadiz at the beginning of August, with the combined fleet, which, when joined in Cadiz Bay by nine other ships, would consist in all of fifty one sail, and were determined to oppose the relief of that place: and that the Comte d'Artois, brother to the King of France, was appointed Generalissimo of the forces against it, but the Duc de Crillon is considered as the efficient General.—These accounts bring a confirmation likewise of the loss of the Royal George, and of the capture of a small Dutch fort on the coast of Africa, by the Leander, a 50 gun ship, and a corps of marines, but with great loss on both sides.
Under the New York head there are lists of sixty vessels taken and carried in there within the last six weeks, French, Spanish and American: they mention likewise the sailing of the Leeward Island fleet for London, in August, under convoy of the Prudent, of 64 guns, the Janus, of 44, and other frigates; and of a secret expedition from Jamaica, which sailed the 7th of Aug. under convoy of the Preston, of 50 guns, and some armed vessels, having on board O'Dell's corps of Loyal American Rangers. The New York accounts add, that the Jupiter, of 50 guns, is arrived there from a cruise in this bay, where, in company with the Chatham, of 50 guns, she fell in with la Couronne, of 80 guns, now in this harbour which was convoying a mast ship from Portsmouth: the Captain of the Jupiter complains, that he made signals for the Chatham to come up, when he first chased la Couronne, and often repeated them, but to no purpose; and it is said that a court martial will be held on the Captain of the Chatham, on his return from Halifax to New York, for his bashfulness, as these vain boasters are pleased to call it, in their usual stile of rhodomontade: that the notorious Col. Tarleton was gone in the fleet, to display his prowess as a volunteer, in the defence of Gibraltar: and that the Queen of England, to console the people for their other losses, is pregnant with her fifteenth child.
It is confidently asserted by persons who have lately been prisoners with the enemy at Halifax, that the several cruisers mentioned below, are destined from that quarter to renew their depredations on our trade in this bay.
British ships of war at Halifax the 20th October, and out upon a cruise.—Renown, 50 guns, out—Hussar, 32 ditto, out—Charlestown, 28 ditto, out—Savage sloop, 18 ditto, out—Chatham 50 ditto, to sail in three days—three frigates, names unknown in port, and fitting to sail in short time—three or four sloops of war ready to sail—several brigs in the King's service, and private property will sail on a cruise.
A letter from New Jersey of the 13th instant says "Immediately after the arrival of the Viper sloop of war at New York, with dispatches from England and Halifax, orders were given for the embarkation of 6000 British troops."
Extract of a letter from Head quarters, Oct. 12. "There is a letter from Mr. Adams of the 20th of August, in which he seems yet dubious of a peace. The English, not-
withstanding the deranged state of their affairs in every quarter of the world, continue obstinate as ever. Lord Howe was then in port. Mr. Adams says, except the relief of Gibraltar is attempted, it must fall."
Saturday last a cartel arrived from Halifax, with a number of prisoners.
Late accounts from New York say, that a packet has arrived there from England, with positive orders to continue fortifying that post and Charlestown, with all possible expedition.
S A L E M , October 31.
Last Monday, a Cartel arrived here from Halifax, with a number of Americans lately captured by the enemy.
Captain Nathaniel West, in a ship from France for this port, with a valuable cargo was lately captured by the enemy, and carried into Halifax.

CATO'S ADVICE.

"SAYS Cato, why should man repine, When time hath silver'd o'er his hair? Why should it grieve him to resign A place replete with toils and care? Can all the pleasure youth enjoys Attract the wise man's sober thought, Or make him sigh for infant toys, And thinks his wisdom dearly bought!
II.
Ah! no—he sees beyond the grave A nobler prospect open'ing wide, That bids his soul Death's terrors brave With Hope and Virtue on his side. His hoary head with honor crown'd Draws rev'rence from both old & young Who, all attention, wait around, To hear rich wisdom from his tongue.
III.
With pleasure he his children views, A well instructed, blooming train, Whose filial cares new lite infuse, And sooth him on the bed of pain. In youth let Virtue be thy guide, Her golden rules with joy obey, Serenely then thine age will glide, Nor fear to mix with native clay."

WHEREAS Lydia, wife of me the subscriber, has wantonly violated the marriage contract, in my absence while in captivity; and being now return'd, find her indecent and unchaste conduct so daringly conspicuous, as to render it inconsistent with the principles of a man of character (who once tho' himself happily settled under the banners of Hymen) further to nourish and cherish her:—I therefore, here- by forbid any person trusting her on my account, as I will not pay any debt contracted by her from this date.
