PETERSBURGH, April 11.
The Empress has resolved to prosecute the war both against the Turks and Swedes, with the utmost vigor. On the frontiers of Finland is an army of 48,000 men, under the command of the grand duke, waiting only for the expiration of the cessation of arms between Denmark and Sweden, to re-commence hostilities.
About the middle of May, 42 sail of the line, which are fitted out at Constadt, will put to sea. These, with the 11 in the Danish ports, united to the 12 sail of the line which Denmark furnishes as auxiliaries, will form a fleet of 65 sail of the line.
FRANKFORT, April 24.
Letters from Peterburg advise, that great preparations are going forward for opening the campaign. It is asserted, that the army to be opposed to the Swedes will be composed of 50,000 men, supported by 150 gallies and armed sloops.
LONDON, May 12. Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated December 2.
"I have seen Mr. Whaley, and two other gentlemen. They are going to Jerusalem, to decide a bet of 30,000l. which Mr. Whaley has laid with the duke of Leinster, lord
Dorgheda, and some others. They go from hence to Cyprus, thence to Jaffa, and from that to Jerusalem; and return to this place by Aleppo. They intend afterwards going to Constantinople, to take a trip up to the Black sea, visit the Archipelago, land at Messina, view Etna, and the other parts of Sicily, and return to England through Italy, Switzerland, and France."
Mr. Burke, in the high court of parliament, Westminster-hall, on the 21st of April last, commenting upon the grievances, as stated by Mr. Hastings, in his petition, of having already been put to 30,000l. expence observes as follows; "But with what confidence, with what frontless audacity is such a statement made at a time, when I pledged myself to prove that he has received in one single solitary bribe not only the amount of this expence but of all possible expence of this trial! I know too, that the prisoner has obtained testimonials, written first in English, turned afterwards into the Persian language, re-translated into English, and which certainly had obtained the signatures of many respectable names in India! But if all the natural influence of government were to be done away, if all the gratitude of individuals were to be obliterated, and all the deep-rooted fears of the inhabitants removed, before such offences can be established, then, from this period, delinquency is safe, and prosecution fruitless."
May 18. A Russian cutter has taken a Swedish brig from Bostock, off Elsinore, and carried her to Copenhagen, which is the first signal of the marine war commencing again.
April 24. Yesterday se'nnight a man led his wife to the cross at Orley, in a halter, and offered her at public sale, when five shillings being the most money advanced, she was knocked off at that! and the purchaser quietly took away his bargain.
A humorous apology for the delay of a book lately printed in America.—Because, says the author, the press was oppressed, my book seemed to be suppressed; while it was by a little and a little impressed; but now at last it hath pressed through the press into the world, &c.
PHILADELPHIA, August 5.
We are happy to inform our readers, that in the memory of the oldest man among us, a more plentiful year has not been known than the present. Neither mildew nor fly has affected the wheat; the grain is heavy and full, and in large quantities. The other grains are likewise plentiful, and of an excellent quality. Such distinguished favours call for the gratitude of the inhabitants of the United States, to the great Author of Nature, especially when these blessings of nature are connected in the same year with deliverance from anarchy, and with the establishment of a wise, free and just government.
NEW-YORK, August 1.
A Connecticut paper of the 31st inst. mentions, that proposals have been made in the town of Newhaven, and in many other towns, to enter into associations to support the Congress laws, respecting the revenue. May such laudable propositions meet the countenance and support of every well wisher to the union.
AUGUST 10.
Extract of a letter from Accomack county, Virginia, dated July 30.
'On Sunday night, the 26th inst.
came on Gargotha beach, about the lat. 38, N. six seamen in an open boat, by name, Benjamin Cawley, Thomas Brown, John M'Kunn, Peter Joseph, Lewis Brandoe, and Matt. Turan.—They inform, that on the Thursday night preceding their landing, they together with their Captain, Mate and four other men, who betook themselves to another boat, abandoned the Brig Maria, Capt. Sebastian Oliver, from Port-au-Prince, bound to New-York; that they kept in company with their Captain and his boat's crew until about 24 hours before they reached the shore, when they were obliged to put away on account of a high wind and leakness of the boat, these men having been refreshed by the inhabitants, are gone on their way to Norfolk. They say that the brig foundered near the Gulph Stream, about lat. 39; and they suppose the other part of the crew, if safe, to have landed a little to the southward of Cape Henlopen.
Aug. 11. The six seamen mentioned in a letter from Accomack, dated the 30th ult. and published in our paper of yesterday, proceeded from thence to Norfolk and Portsmouth; by the conduct of one of them suspicion arose in the breast of the landlord that he had committed some criminal act, and from those suspicions he examined into the bundles of the seamen at his house, and found a quantity of valuable linen and other clothes made up, which convinced him that they had committed a robbery: he therefore gave information to a magistrate, who attended the house with a constable, and secured the fellow most suspected, an Irishman by birth, who confessed that they had thrown their captain overboard; the cook upon discovering it, attempted to save him by throwing over a rope which he seized, by which with assistance he might have been brought on board, but for their sending the cook after him, both of them perished in their presence; that the rest of the crew proceeded to distribute the goods and effects of the captain which were portable; and after doing this they proceeded for the land; that as soon as they got near the shore, and in good weather, they scuttled the vessel, took to the boat, and landed as described in the letter from Accomack; they were all seized and safely lodged in Norfolk county gaol.
HARTFORD, Aug. 17.
Five sail of French men of war arrived in the Chesapeake on Friday the 14th instant from the West-Indies.
Sunday evening the 9th instant a Barn belonging to Mr. Nehemiah Lewis of Goshen, containing a quantity of Hay and Grain, was set on fire by lightning and consumed—His dwelling house which stood about four rods from the barn, was with difficulty preserved from the flames.
Last Friday afternoon about six o'clock a Barn owned by Mr. Eliza Mix, of this town, containing twenty tons of Hay and about 130 bushels of Rye and Oats, was set on fire by lightning and consumed—together with cow-house, cyder-mill house and mill, which were adjoining.
The same afternoon the dwelling house of Mr. Daniel Tolcott, of Winfor, was struck with lightning and considerably damaged. Several of the family were thrown down by the shock, but soon recovered.

PROVIDENCE, August 1.
A poor woman in this town, has at six births brought forth 13 children—to at the five first births, who are living—and three at the last, who are dead. A subscription, we are told, has been made for her relief.
B O S T O N, August 26.
A bill having passed the Legislature of the United States, providing for the appointment of Commissioners to treat with the Indian tribes in the Southern States. THE PRESIDENT has been pleased to nominate, and by and with the advice of the Senate to appoint,
THE HON. BENJAMIN LINCOLN, ESQ. one of the COMMISSIONERS for transacting this truly important business,—and, we hear, has required his immediate attendance in New-York, for the purpose of receiving instructions, and embarking for Georgia, where the treaty is to be held on the 15th of September next.
We are informed, that in consequence of this appointment, which he received advice by last evening's mail, and in obedience to the above directions, Gen. LINCOLN, having made the necessary arrangements, for conducting the business of the department of the Office of Collector for the ports of Boston and Charlestown, during his absence, sat out this morning, at four o'clock for New-York.
SHIP NEWS.
By a vessel which arrived here in ten days from Virginia, we learn that the French fleet was at anchor at Old Point Comfort, and was to sail in a few days for this port.
WORCESTER, August 13.
If we may judge from the respectability and influence of the supporters of plans for the abolition of the slave trade , both in England and France, we may at least indulge a hope, that humanity will shortly triumph over the mercenary views of the dealers in that diabolical traffick—and that those plans, which every person who is not callous to the feelings of humanity must acknowledge are dictated by benevolence, and demanded by justice, will be carried into full effect.
Last year the revenue of the Emperor of Germany amounted to about 13,617,771. 15s. 7d. lawful.
PORTSMOUTH, August 27.
By accounts from Philadelphia, we learn, that the week before the last, the heat there was so great, as to oblige the Mayor to order all the meat in market to be carried away and thrown into the Delaware, at 100'clock in the forenoon. The meat in general was in a state of putrefaction, and the Mayor had ordered the market to be washed and cleaned every day, in order to preserve the health of the citizens.
This has been the hottest weather known in this country for many years; several shopkeepers have shut up their shops and retired to the country for a few days, in order to save their lives. Deaths are numerous, and it is melancholy to observe, that CHILDREN in particular are dying so fast at Philadelphia, that no parent can be a moment happy there, during the months July and August. Sixteen infants were buried there on the first Sabbath in July. The Thermometer stood at 96 for several days.
At New-York, the Thermometer stood at 73 the last week.
The State of South-Carolina have determined to call a Convention, for the purpose of revising their State Constitution, in order to render the same conformably to the Federal Constitution.
A New-York paper of August 13, mentions, We are credibly informed that five French men of war are arrived at the Chesapeake—We suppose the same that were expected at Boston.
A Paris paper of June 4, says—His Royal Highness the DAUPHIN,
died between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning, in the eighth year of his age.
AMERICAN FABRICATIONS.
It no doubt affords great satisfaction to every friend to his country, to observe the rapid progress that manufactures are making throughout the United States; more especially, as the encouragement they receive, renders it probable that their establishment will, in a little time, be complete. Already has the efforts of genius so far prevailed, that the manufacture of WOOL CARDS, has arrived to such a degree of perfection in Boston, by the improvements made in the machinery, invented by the native genius of the country, as to rival the Europeans in the fabrication of that article; and the states of America are supplied from thence at near fifty per cent. less than they used to pay for British wool cards before the revolution. Although the manufacturers are obliged to import their wire from Europe, yet, under this disadvantage, they are able to make the cards, pay a second freight to Europe, and undersell them in their own markets.
In the manufacture of this article, upwards of eight hundred persons, men, women, and children, are daily employed in the town of Boston; and we are assured that within the last eleven months, no less than 61,800 pair of wool and cotton cards have been made by the company who compose this manufactory.
The manufacture of SAIL CLOTH, lately established in Boston, is much esteemed for its great utility and public benefit, as most of the vessels fitted out of late from that and the adjacent ports, are either partly or wholly clothed from the factory in that town. The proprietors of the manufactory, it is said, have the satisfaction to find, that their Duck is generally approved of, and has the preference of the European. The short period that has elapsed since the looms were first productive, affords but a single instance of a trial being made of the canvas, which was pronounced by the fishermen, who used it upon the banks of Newfoundland, to be the best they ever failed with.
If attention is paid to the cultivation of flax, so as to afford the factory an ample supply, it is said, they mean to extend the manufacture so as to turn out 100 pieces, or bolts per week; which they are encouraged to undertake from the disposition of the female part of the community to contribute to so great a work, to whose exertions in the cause of industry, it is asserted by some in Boston, the establishment of manufacture is more indebted, that to the male part of the citizens.
"At Albany they have established a glass manufactory, and at Boston is established another. The Albany glass is as cheap as that from Europe.
"In New-York the castor-nut, or palma Christi, grows well—and one or more mills are established, for the making of castor-oil.
"The cotton manufactory is established at Philadelphia and Beverly, and will be at Lancaster or York, in Pennsylvania. The Boston Assembly have granted 500l. to the one at Beverly, as a gratuity for the advancement it has made. It is carried on with Arkwright's machines.
"Carding machines are made as cheap and as well at Philadelphia, as in Europe.
Died since our last, Capt. George Janverin, aged 77—Mrs. Mary Jones, aged 61, wife of Mr. John Jones, of this town—Mrs. Sarah Davis, aged 77—and Chester, a negro man.
