[No. 1403]
STOCKHOLD, (Sweden) May 20. THE King hath lessened the duties on the productions of American and the West-Indies, imported into this kingdom in Swedish ships. The ordinance issued for this purpose, among other regulations, indicates, that his Majesty having resolved to encourage the commerce of his subjects and the navigation to America and the West-Indies, has been pleased to give up one third of the sum which they were obliged to pay to his customs, &c. according to the tariff of 1771.
DRESDEN, (Capital of Saxony, Germany) May 16. It appears that the independence of North-America is not an indifferent affair to Saxony: Doctor Franklin has proposed a treaty of commerce to M. de Stutterheim, our Minister at Versailles; the proposition has been accepted with much satisfaction, and our Court has sent orders to its Minister to settle this matter.
LIMERICK, (Ireland) June 5. We hear from Tralee, that two men agreed to drink whiskey, the soberest person to pay the entire club: they drank two quarts each, out of half pint glasses, when they both expired. To the great honor of the inhabitants of the town, they caused them to be buried in the highway.
LONDON, June 2. A report is circulated, that a treaty of amity and commerce is about to be negotiated between the Court of Madrid and the States of America, according to which, the latter are to bind themselves to support the sovereignty of Spain over her American possessions, in consideration of being allowed certain commercial privileges in trading with the several European seaports belonging to the crown of Spain.
Sentence against Sepahis, of the 35th regiment, which mutinied at Burdowa, and was sent to Berhampore to be tried and executed, 7th, May.
Emtongh Sing Subadar, 1st battalion, 35th regiment of Sepoys, brought into Court, and charged with mutiny, of which he is acquitted—But the Court find him guilty of exciting the Sepoys to mutiny which being a breach of the third article of the second section of the articles of war, they do adjudge him, and he is hereby adjudged, to be blown from a gun, in front of all the troops at Berhampore.
Several other officers shared a similar fate for the same crime.
June 11. It is certainly a fact that may be depended on by our readers, that two months after signing the preliminaries at Paris, 48 French officers, many of them artillery ones, were sent in a frigate from Brest to the isle of France, in order to be forwarded for the assistance of Hyder Ali. A sure proof that the Court of France will leave no stone unturned to create plenty of work for our hands in the East Indies.
June 17. All the boasted abilities of the coalition cannot get the definitive treaty signed. Various causes have been assigned for the delay; but the plain truth is, the Spaniards insist that Gibraltar (though they make some compensation) shall be given up previous to the last hand being put to the peace. The Ministry are endeavouring to render such a measure palatable by procrastination; but, it is said, they ultimately in-
tend making this inglorious concession. Lord Shelburne spurned the idea of parting with that important fortress; this daring sacrifice is to be made by the sacrilegious hands of whigs and tories united.
The French have launched le Duc de Coigny and la Prothee ships of war, as a correspondent is informed; the command of one of which is given to a native of America, who signalized himself highly in an inferior station, in one of the smartest engagements with the English.
The French Cabinet, in order to induce the Americans to give a preference to the French market for the sale of their merchandise, have it in contemplation to open two free ports in favor of the United States: these two ports, it is said, are Port Louis and L'Orient, both in Brittany; but the treaty in which this privilege is to be stipulated, is only barely commenced.
FRANCFORT, (Germany) June 17. Letters from the Frontiers of Poland, dated 8th inst. affirm that Russia had declared war against the Turks on the 24th of last month; that hostilities had already commenced on both sides; that the Turks had unexpectedly attacked a body of 3000 Russians, most of whom had been cut to pieces; but that at last the Russians had made themselves masters of the fortress of Oczakow.—We expect by the first courier a confirmation of this important intelligence.
Utrecht, Holland, June 27. A report universally prevails, "That Russia hath declared war against the Porte, and that the Russian army is advancing in three divisions towards Bender."
LONDON, July 3. The French Court have allowed, that the ships of the United States of America shall have free access to and from any of the ports of France in the West-India islands, and to carry their produce to any part of the world (France excepted) on paying a trifling duty; and those articles of produce intended directly for any part of the United States, are to be shipped free of all duty.
Two mercantile houses in Philadelphia, aided by others in Amsterdam, have already fixed houses in St. Augustine, and are to have extensive warehouses for the purposes of supplying some parts of South-America with baizes and other woolens, which have heretofore been sent from England by way of Cadiz, and thence in the register ships to Cathagena, Porto Bello, and other places. It is supposed, by this plan established under very certain credits, and approved by the Spanish Government, that the inhabitants of South America can be supplied not only on much easier terms with the manufacture of Great-Britain, but that the returns to the vender for those articles may be obtained in one half the time.
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, June 10. "This day the ambassador, consul and their suites, after having taken leave of the stadholder and the supreme council set off for Enchusen, where they will embark on board the Orange Zaal yacht, which is to carry them to Helida where the fleet, under Admiral Jan Melvett, waits to receive them."
Extract of a letter from Paris, June 29. We have very current reports here, that war is commenced in the north between the
Russian and Ottoman powers, and that there has been a very smart action between the two fleets, on the Black Sea. We wait impatiently for further accounts.

By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, August 7, 1783.
Resolved unanimously (ten states being present) That an equestrian statue of General Washington be erected at the place where the residence of Congress shall be established.
Resolved, That the statue be of bronze: the General to be represented in a Roman dress, holding a truncheon in his right hand, and his head encircled with a laurel wreath: the statue to be supported by a marble pedestal, on which are to be represented, in basso relievo, the following principal events of the war, in which General Washington commanded in person, viz. The evacuation of Boston—The Capture of the Hessians at Trenton—The Battle of Princeton—The Action of Monmouth—And the surrender of York. On the upper part of the front of the pedestal to be engraved as follows: "The United States, in Congress assembled, ordered this statue to be erected, in the year of our Lord 1783, in honor of George Washington, the illustrious Commander in Chief of the Armies of the United States of America during the war which vindicated and secured their liberty, sovereignty and independence."
Resolved, That a statue, conformable to the above plan, be executed by the best artist in Europe, under the superintendence of the Minister of the United States at the Court of Versailles, and that money to defray the expense of the same be furnished from the treasury of the United States.
Resolved, That the Secretary of Congress transmit to the Minister of the United States at the Court of Versailles, the best resemblance of General Washington that can be procured, for the purpose of having the above statue erected, together with the fittest description of the events which are to be the subject of the basso relievo.
United States in Congress assembled. (Princeton) August 26, 1783.
According to order, General Washington attended, and being introduced by two members, the President addressed him as follows:
SIR, CONGRESS feel particular pleasure in seeing your Excellency, and in congratulating you on the success of a war in which you have acted so conspicuous a part.
It has been the singular happiness of the United States that during a war so long, so dangerous and so important, Providence has been graciously pleased to preserve the life of a General, who has merited and possessed the uninterrupted confidence and affection of his fellow citizens. In other nations many have performed services for which they deserved and received the thanks of the public; but to you Sir, peculiar praise is due. your services have been essential in acquiring and establishing the freedom and Independence of your country; they deserve the grateful acknowledgements of a free and independent nation; these acknowledgements Congress have the satisfaction of expressing to your Excellency.
Hostilities have now ceased, but your country still need your services; she wishes to avail herself of your talents in forming the arrangements which will be necessary for her in time of peace; for this reason your attendance at Congress has been requested. A Committee is appointed to confer with your Excellency and to receive your assistance in preparing and digesting plans relative to those important objects. To which his Excellency made the following REPLY.
Mr. PRESIDENT, I am too sensible of the honorable reception I have now experienced, not to be penetrated with the deepest feelings of gratitude.
Notwithstanding Congress appear to estimate the value of my life beyond my services I have been able to render the United States, yet I must be permitted to consider the wisdom and unanimity of our councils the firmness of our citizens, and the patience and bravery of our troops, which have produced so happy a termination of the war, as the most conspicuous effect of the Divine interposition, and the surest presages of our future happiness.
Highly gratified by the favourable sentiments which Congress are pleased to express of my past conduct, and amply rewarded by the confidence and affection of my fellow citizens, I cannot hesitate to contribute my best endeavours towards the establishment of the national security in whatever manner the sovereign power may think proper to direct, until the ratification of the definitive treaty of peace, or the final evacuation of our country by the British forces;
after either of which events, I shall ask permission to retire to the peaceful shade of private life.
Perhaps, Sir, no occasion more suitable than the present to express my humble thanks to God; and my grateful acknowledgments to my country, for the great and uniform support I have received in every vicissitude of fortune and for the many distinguished honours which Congress have been pleased to confer upon me in the course of the war.
Published by order of Congress. CHARLES THOMSON Sec'y.
PHILADELPHIA, September 3.
The most authentic accounts agree, that there are yet between 12 and 15000 refugees, men, women, and children, to be embarked at New-York, Long Island and Staten Island, for Nova Scotia, St. John's, and Albaco; among these are many persons of fortune and landed estates, who leave nothing but their terra firma behind them. Many of them pretend, that it is not fear of ill treatment, after the departure of the army, that urges them to leave the country, so much as conviction that the new republic must sink in a short time under their immense national debt, and the exorbitant taxes with which they will be loaded. Laughable.
Upwards of seven thousand of the mercenary troops (say some) remain to be accounted for by Great Britain to their respective princes; these must either be replaced, or the loss compensated by 30l. sterling a head, which amounts to 210,000l. sterling.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) July 16.
Yesterday morning the billiard table, which was seized last week at a house in Church-Street, by order of the magistrates, was publicly sold at the Court House for 47l. to a gentleman, whose public spirit means to consign it to the flames.
ALBANY, September 1.
We are informed that Sir Guy Carleton has given out orders, that the troops composing the garrison of New York, are to hold themselves in readiness to embark the tenth day of October next. The above orders mention the destination of the several regiments.
BOSTON, September 15.
Extract of a letter from New-York. "No news here but that of evacuation. This is hourly talked of, and occasions a variety of physiognomies, laughable appearances-- Some look smiling, others melancholy, a third class mad. To hear their conversation would make you feel merry: Some there are who represent the cold regions of Nova Scotia, as a new created paradise, others as a country unfit for any human being to inhabit. Tories are vexed with Tories; they curse the power to whom they owe allegiance, and thus render themselves rebellious; they profess wonderful concern for the New States, apprehensive we may in time get to wrestling with and boxing each other till the blood runs. Scotchmen, who from peddling in their own country have made fortunes here, mean to stay; while Dundee's, of ten thousand times more virtue, are obliged to fly."
To be sold
By Captain Samuel Hall, of Wakefield, sundry valuable Tracts of LAND, partly under improvement, one in Wakefield, containing about 150 Acres, with a Dwelling House & Barn, about 20 Acres is under improvement, and eight acres of Trees fell. Another Tract lying in Shapleigh or Hubbard's Town (so called) containing about 200 Acres of an excellent quality, & about 20 acres under good improvement. A 3rd, two of the best FARMS in Exon, one contains about 200 Acres, with a dwelling House and Barn, about 30 acres is under improvement, cuts about 10 Tons of good Hay this year; the other contains about 120 Acres, with a Dwelling-House, about 12 acres is under improvement, and cuts about three or four Tons of Hay. Said Farms lay on the main Road to Conway, about four Miles South. A 4th, two of three hundred Acres of LAND in Roy's Patent (so called) lying above Conway, on the main road leading to the upper Cobles. Said Land is of an excellent quality, partly interval, about eight or ten Settlements is on said Patent. For any of the above-mentioned Land pay may be made in Money, Stock, Lumber, Orders on the Treasurer, or State Notes at the common exchange. Any Person that said Hall owes Money to, shall have any of the above Lands at a price set by indifferent Persons, as Money is very scarce, and he is desirous of paying his Debts, and several times he has been bound as security for other Persons, which proves detrimental to his own Interest and Business, he is now determined to discharge the whole against him, if a reasonable value of his Estate will do it, and as he has never yet been desirous of suing any Person, he now requests all those indebted to him, to pay immediately, especially those he has been bound for, as by so doing they will save Cost and Trouble.
WHEREAS one Samuel Jewett of Epping, is possessed of a note of hand dated Dec. 31st, 1783, for the sum of one hundred and fifty pounds lawful money, which note was fraudulently and deceitfully obtained, and for which I never received any value. I hereby caution all persons against purchasing said note, and declare that I will not pay said sum or any part of it. GOULD FRENCH.

LONDON, June 16.
Extract of a letter from Naples, March 11.
Of the many anecdotes related concerning the desolation at Messina, the following is by much the most terrible and distressing. The Marchioness de Spada, during the Earthquake, was conveyed by her husband to the harbour; but, during the preparations for embarkation, having come to her senses, and perceiving that her infant son was not with her, she profited of her husband's being too busied to attend to her, and ran back to town: she found her house safe, and going up stairs, took her infant from its cradle, but could not return, as in the interim the stairs had fallen; she flew from room to room, distracted by repeated crushes of one or other part of the building, and got to where, thinking herself safe, she held up her son, and implored the assistance of those who saw her; but the interest which every one felt for himself at the moment of this dreadful and general calamity, prevented every attempt to avoid the impending danger; and the house taking fire, this unhappy woman fell a sacrifice to her maternal affection. Her body was found attached to the arms of her babe--an embrace which death itself could not loose."
To be SOLD, by order of the King's Privy Council, and advice of the Ministerial Junta.
A ROYAL CROWN, for the benefit, advantage and support of those miserable dependents, termed the loyal refugees, who, not having the love of their country at heart, but instigated by the malice of George the third, the true representative of his Saxon Majesty, did voluntarily enter his service, for which purpose they fled to the protection of an arbitrary power, to aid and support the design of his Majesty's ministerial myrmidons, mercenary cut-throats, plunderers, sheep-stealers, town burners, scalpers, thieves and robbers, under the command of Generals Gage, Howe, and such other Generals as his Majesty has been pleased to appoint in succession for the gracious intention of subjugating these slaves to his obedience, command and pleasure.
And as his Majesty did vow, swear and profess, in presence of the mitred spiritual house of corrupted quadrupeds, that he would sell his crown and all his estate in Hanover, to carry on the war, and support those his loyal subjects who were endeavouring to carry his measures into execution--and as he has most unfortunately failed in all his attempts, whereby he finds himself greatly reduced and under the disagreeable necessity of selling his Crown & Hanoverian patrimony, to lessen that part of the national debt which includes the pecuniary support of these hungry miscreants, who have no place for sanctuary than the wing of majesty, or the stunted shores of Port-Roseway.
That the purchaser may not be deceived in his bargain, notice is now given, that there are missing thirteen brilliant stars, which formerly belonged to this crown, and fell from it about 2 years ago, in a fruitless attempt to destroy the liberties of America, by which means he lost the confidence and affection of all his then subjects, another of its brightest gems. The purchaser will also take notice, that this crown will not suit any head, being a fool's cap; he would therefore do well to find a head it might fit, if good fortune can direct him to one that would choose to wear it, after the many spots and stains it has received from the excrementitious exudations of a very watry porous pericranium, on which it has been placed for 23 years; but for want of a proper cultivation, has not been known to flourish, being choked with the weeds of disgrace, bribery and corruption. The conditions of sale are, the highest bidder to be the owner, provided he lives within the limits of the kingdom of Little Britain, Scotland or Ireland, as in any other kingdom such a crown would not be worn. No American is allowed to bid; because, if certified to that part of the world, it would share the fate of the East-India Company's tea, as that faithful triumvirate, Barnard, Hutchinson and Paxton, with the aid of military butchers, would not be there to save it. Nothing but silver or gold will be taken in payment, as paper money has been greatly counterfeited at the royal mint, by advice and consent of King, Lords and Commons to frustrate and perplex the Americans in carrying on the war. Payment must be made in 24 hours, as the money is greatly wanted, to satisfy the craving demands of those hungry miscreants who have been long living, on the royal bounty, and whom government are desirous of shaking off, at dead, cumbrous weight, from their shoulders. N.B. The place of sale to be at St. Georges Fields, where the first tragedy of British tyranny was acted.

WHEREAS the proprietors and owners of Haverhill in the county of Grafton and State of New Hampshire, at a legal meeting on the 12th day of August 1783, voted to raise four pounds on each original right in said town; which tax hath been assessed and proportioned to the several lots and undivided land of said rights in manner following, viz.

Q U E R I E S.
If the Committee of Safety pretend to grant leave of return to this State, to persons who were never prohibited from it; do they not act an absurd part, and render themselves ridiculous? If they grant such leave to those who have been banished by acts of the General Court, do they not greatly exceed their powers, by overruling the authority of both Houses? Is not every such excess an usurpation of the rights of the people? Is not every usurpation dangerous to our liberties? Ought not every infringement of our liberties to be duly attended to? 'Tis time that the powers of this Committee were exactly ascertained or totally annihilated; for at present, both the people and the laws, seem to be the sport of their will. Q U I B U S.
