L O N D O N, May 16.
IT is happy for us that the mails of Holland come to hand very irregularly: for as often as they arrive they put us out of humour: It cannot in effect, but render us desperate, to remark, that since the pacific propositions which we have made to the Dutch, they assume a higher tone; give themselves up with less reserve to their resentments; and not content with repudiating us as natural allies, openly bestow upon us the title of natural enemies: Can any thing, for example, be so insulting to us as the discourse of baron de Chapelle de Marsch, which they affect so much and so generally to admire:
This discourse pronounced on the 27th of April last among a thousand improper, not to say insulting reflections, contains the following:
Noble and powerful Lords!
"The time then is come for us to render homage to the liberty the privileges and the dignity of the Batavian nation, by opening our ears to her voice, which has demanded with so much energy, and which still demands that this Republic acknowledge the independence of our brethren, the Americans who have made themselves free by the point of the sword, and that we concert with them measures expedient for our mutual prosperity, and for ensuing a permanent liberty on both sides by a courage and intrepidity which may frighten all tyrants who trample under foot the most sacred rights of nations.
It is my duty, noble, and powerful lords; it is our duty to render another homage to the voice of the people: they cry unto us, No separate peace! No suspension of arms! No revival of ancient treaties with an enemy who has never respected them, and who has always attacked and violated them in the most arbitrary manner. Such is the language of our best citizens. The proposition lately made to this state by the ministers of her imperial majesty of Russia, conformably to the declaration of the present ministry of England, to engage us in a particular reconciliation with our enemy, or to induce us to a cessation of hostilities with them, is inadmissible: both ought to be rejected in a manner becoming the dignity of the Republic. The new cabinet of the king of England is too enlightened to have imagined that this nation was so foolish as to be caught in this snare: I am rather inclined to think that it has made those advances as preparatory to a general peace.
It is nevertheless an intollerable thing that our enemy in the midst of their distress, should have dared to present us with peace by offering us the enjoyment of a free navigation; as if it depended on them to give or take away, an advantage, the possession of which belongs to us as well as to all the
people of the world. The Republic is in a condition to let this infracter of treaties see that she can maintain her rights by the force of her arms; nor will it be the first time that Britain has trembled before the flag of this state. The interests of our country, of all Europe, require, then, that we endeavour to avenge ourselves.
Besides these motives there are others still which oblige us to reject the English propositions, to make no separate peace with Great-Britain. Your noble mightinesses feel already that I mean to speak of these striking marks of kindness which this Republic has in the most noble manner experienced from his Most Christian Majesty.
Now that we have resolved to league ourselves with the enemies of our enemy, in order to humble him still further, how can we consent to any peace but in conjunction with our natural ally, and after it shall have appeared that he is no longer in condition to renew his arbitrary conduct towards us and other nations. That we have been saved from the brink of the precipice to which the artifice employed both within and without, by this odious enemy, had led us, is next to GOD to be ascribed not to ourselves, but to the King of France. Let then the principles of gratitude guide the conduct of this state. Great are the obligations of this republic towards this Monarch, the friend of humanity! What would have become of this state without the succours of the French? It was Noble and Mighty Lords the same powerful neighbour who at the time when our fathers were fighting to shake off the Spanish yoke, co-operated in our deliverance, who in the present time has rescued our necks from that of the Britons which at first we did not seem to dread. Thus penetrated with sentiments of the most lively gratitude, our countrymen expect that this republic will immediately connect itself by the closest ties with a generous nation, who takes to heart our interest and our property; with a power who has more care for us than we have for ourselves; with a natural ally who requires nothing from us but what tends to our own preservation, and our own advantage.
This is the voice of the whole nation it is the cry; it is the prayer of an enlightened community, which, thanks be to GOD, has just ideas of its situation; which ardently desires to see without further delay, the promised combination of measures with the king of France for the ensuing campaign, whether on our coast or elsewhere, vigorously executed, &c.
May 21. The Dutch have fitted out from Batavia, in the East Indies, six ships of the line of 64 guns each, besides the Helderfeldean armed pink, the whole under the command of Commodore J. D. Schryver.
Admiral Suffrein has 11 ships of the line in the same seas; and if the Dutch fleet, now on its way to the East Indies (and consisting, as it is said, of 14 or 15 sail of the line) arrives safe there, the whole will amount to 30 sail of the line, a force that must carry all before it in those seas and settlements.
An ANECDOTE worthy the celebrated Dr. FRANKLIN.
THE morning after Mr. Wedderburne, now Lord Chief Justice of England, had in his never to be forgotten Philippic before the privy council, treated the venerable Doctor with such unbounded scurrility and abuse, a particular friend now in this country, (accompanied by Monsieur Garnier charge des affaires of France) called upon the Doctor at his house in Haven street, and asked him why he did not chastise Wedderburne immediately upon his coming out of the Council-chamber? the Doctor with his usual calmness and philosophy, replied "Because it was not worth his while—The puppy is not game. What signifies kicking the cur that barks at the door? his master that employed him shall suffer for it!"
State of New-Hampshire.
PUBLIC notice is hereby given, that a petition hath been preferred to the General Assembly by Eliphalet Carpenter, setting forth, that, in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy four, he was in legal possession in his own proper right of a piece of land lying in Keene, on the west side of the north branch so called; which land he deeded to Elijah Williams, Esq; an absentee, in consideration of his satisfying an execution that Josiah Richardson then had against him, but said execution was never satisfied in that manner: he therefore was obliged to answer the same. Wherefore he prayed that he might be in legal possession of said land, or receive a compensation or valuable consideration therefor, meaning principal & interest, for which said land was sold.
Upon which petition, the General Assembly ordered that the petitioner be heard thereon before them, on the second Wednesday of their next session, and that in the mean time he cause Mr. Daniel Newcomb, agent of the estate of Elijah Williams, Esq; an absentee, to be served with a copy of the petition and order of Court thereon, and that he cause the substance of the said petition and order of Court to be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, that any person or persons may then shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted, Attest, JOSEPH PEARSON, Deputy Sec'y. Concord, June 17th, 1782.
The person who has the POLITICAL WORKS of the celebrated Dr. FRANKLIN, in his possession, and is at a loss to find the owner, may hear of him by applying at the Printing Office.—If the owner mistakes not, his name is wrote on the title page.

LONDON, June 4.
Extract of a letter from Lausanne, May 18.
"You are not ignorant of the insurrection which happened in the Republic of Geneva. The following is some detail of that unfortunate affair."
"April 8. The natives and the representatives having seized the gates, put 15 of the magistrates under arrest, and established a new government, which the Canton of Berne and the Court of France have refused to acknowledge."
"The 9th of the month the new government sent an express to Berne, but their excellencies returned the dispatches immediately, without opening them, and gave the messenger but an hour to depart in. As he did not obey this direction, an archer came to his inn, with direction for his instant departure, or to follow him to prison."
"Friday, the 10th, the 200 were assembled at Berne, from 8 o'clock in the morning until 8 in the evening, when, after long debates, it was decided, to command 6000 men to be ready to march, besides 2000 dragoons, chasseurs, and a necessary train of artillery. They have written to Geneva to the Lyndies, to acquaint all those that belong to the garrison, and to their subjects, that their Excellencies will relieve them from the oath taken to the new government; that they must quit the town, as well as other subjects of the Canton, domestics, artizans and others. They have communicated this news to the Ambassadors of France, and have offered to that Court to act in concert with her, to save Geneva from ruin: The King of Sardinia has marched 4000 troops, and the King of France 6000. I imagine we shall depart next week.—The Plenipotentiaries will hold their Congress at Caronge, near Geneva. Mr. le St. Simon has been named, on the part of France, and Count Marmora, formerly Viceroy, on the part of Savoy. Those on the part of the Canton have not yet been named. As soon as the whole of the troops of France and Savoy are joined to those who are already at Versoy and Caronge, Geneva will be immediately invested. Some say that the Genevans will receive a Bernois garrison; others, that they will defend themselves to the last extremity."
June 18. By private letters from Paris we are informed, that one of the leading stipulations lately suggested to Mr. Grenville, was the restoration of the province of Canada, for which all our West India Islands, except the Grenades, were to be given up in return.
July 1. It was this morning whispered in the most polite and intelligent circles, that disagreeable news had been received from the Continent, relative to affairs in the East Indies. It is said that the news, which came by the last mail from Holland, notwithstanding its round about way of being told, is in part true; and, there is reason to be apprehensive for Sir Edward Hughes in the Superb man of war, of 74 guns.
Geneva, May 10. By advices from Turin, we learn, that a body of 4500 Sardinian forces, to be joined by 6000 French, are on their march to quell the disorders in this city. This has raised great apprehensions here, and many are leaving this place. On the other hand the popular party are preparing for a vigorous defence: they have begun to repair the fortifications, place cannon, &c. The situation of our affairs is truly alarming.
PHILADELPHIA, August 10.
There are some events so brilliant and important in their consequences, that they necessarily stand alone. The reduction of Lord
Cornwallis has furnished trophies and matter of joy for two campaigns. It has produced a change of Ministry in Britain; it has produced an alliance with Holland; and probably, before this time, the evacuation of Savannah and Charlestown. The year 1782 is therefore not less glorious than 1781.
A London paper of the 20th of May, it is said, contains a speech of Mr. Fox, in which he declares in the House of Commons, "That four such victories as that obtained by the British over the French fleet, in the West Indies, would not compensate for the great power which preponderated against them by the union of Holland and America." Another paper of the same month has the following paragraph—"Admiral Pigot, lately appointed to supercede the brave Rodney, had retired to a farm, and has not had his foot on ship board for twenty years past."
Since our last several families have arrived in a flag vessel from Antigua. They have fled, as it were, from the oppression of British government, to seek an asylum in America; where liberty, both civil and religious, will prevail in spite of either foreign or domestic tyranny.
PHILADELPHIA, August 15. Copy of a letter from Major General Greene to his Excellency the President of Congress.
Head Quarters, Ashley Hill, South Carolina, July 14, 1782.
SIR, I DO myself the honor to transmit your Excellency a copy of General Wayne's letter, giving an account of the evacuation of Savannah. This event will afford great relief to the oppressed State of Georgia, and the southern parts of South Carolina.
During the General's command in Georgia, he has had a complication of difficulties to struggle with; and I should be wanting in justice to his singular merit and exertions, were I not to recommend his conduct in the warmest terms to Congress.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, &c. NATHANIEL GREENE. His Excellency the President of Congress.
Head Quarters, Savannah, July 12.
DEAR GENERAL, THE British garrison evacuated this place yesterday at 12 o'clock, leaving the works and town perfect, for which the inhabitants are much obliged to that worthy and humane officer Brigadier General Clarke. It is the prevailing opinion, that the enemy will continue at Tybee for ten or twelve days.
Enclosed is a copy of my orders of the 11th, the Governor and Legislature meet here this evening, or to morrow, into whose hands I shall resign the civil police.
As soon as I am furnished with the invoices and returns of stores I will return a copy.
In addition to the terms of the 17th ult. a copy of which was sent by Mr. Maffy, I have further agreed that the merchants and traders not subjects of America, or owing allegiance to this state, should have six months allowed them to dispose of their goods and adjust their concerns, at the expiration of which term they should be furnished with a passport to transport themselves and property received in exchange or payment for their goods, to one of the nearest British posts. I also agreed to receive all such citizens as had heretofore joined the enemy, on condition that they enlisted in the Georgia battalion of continental troops, to serve as soldiers for two years or during the war, in consequence of which, Major
Habersham has already near 200 men, and will shortly complete the corps without one farthing expence to the public.
I have the honor to be, &c.
ANTHONY WAYNE. Hon. Major General Greene.

By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, August 12, 1782.
WHEREAS from the late publications, the people throughout the United States may be induced to believe that Congress have received authentic communications upon the subject of an approaching peace.
Resolved, That the letter of August 2d, 1782, from Sir Guy Carleton and Admiral Digby to the Commander in Chief be made public.
Resolved, That Congress consider the above letter as mere matter of information, inexplicit as to the nature and extent of the independence directed to be proposed by the British Plenipotentiary; and as Congress have received no information on this subject from the Ministers for negotiating a peace, therefore no public measure can or ought to be taken upon it in its present form.
Resolved, That it be and hereby is recommended to the several States in the Union, not to remit in their exertions for carrying on the war with vigor, as the only effectual means of securing the settlement of a safe and honorable peace.
Resolved, That the Commander in Chief be directed to propose to his Britannic Majesty's Commanders at New York, the appointment of Commissioners, to settle forthwith a general cartel for the exchange of prisoners, taking care that the liquidation of accounts, and settlement of the balance due for the maintenance of prisoners, be provided for the ein.

BOSTON, August 26.
We have the pleasure of informing the public, that in the estimate of expences laid before Congress for the year 1783, the sum of Two Millions of Dollars are recommended to be appropriated towards building a navy.
We are informed from the best authority, that, previous to the evacuation of Savannah, while Gen. Wayne lay at Sharon, about 5 miles from that place, he was attacked on the 24th June, about half after 1 in the morning, by a large body of Creek Indians headed by a number of their most celebrated chiefs, and a British officer. The attack was so sudden and impetuous, that they drove a light company in the rear of Lieut. Col. Poley's battalion, and got possession of two pieces of artillery; but the company, which had been placed there for the protection of those pieces, immediately rallying, under the conduct of Capt. Parker, and Capt. Gun coming up with his troop of dragoons, the two companies, with undaunted resolution, advanced upon the enemy, notwithstanding a heavy fire and hideous yell from every direction; at the same time Col. Poley and Major Finely charged the enemy in flank. The whole was performed with such conduct and gallantry, as soon to terminate in the total rout of the savages. Fourteen Indians and two white men were left dead on the field, among the former the famous Emisteleco, our greatest enemy and the principal warrior of the Creek nation. As there was reason to expect a combined operation by an attack from the British, General Wayne formed to receive them, making a disposition at the same time to prevent a junction with their savage allies. A little after sunrise the British came out, but they quickly were driven back to their works. Our trophies were a British standard and 127 horses, with a number of packs.
Return of the killed and wounded in the action of the morning of the 24th of June.
Light infantry company, 4 killed 5 wounded. Battalion, 1 wounded. White's dragoons, 1 wounded. Clarke's riflemen, 1 killed, 1 wounded.
Total—5 killed, and 8 wounded.
5 Horses killed, and 8 wounded.
August 29. On Wednesday the 21st inst. his Excellency the Marquis de Vaudreuil, commander in chief of the squadron of his Most Christian Majesty, now in the harbour, with the officers of the fleet, of every rank, General Chaisie and his suite, and a great number of French and American gentlemen of distinction, partook of a public dinner at Faneuil Hall, at the invitation of his Excellency the Governor, and the Honourable the Council.
After dinner the United States of America, and their Representatives in Congress, the King, the Queen, and the Dauphen of France, perpetuity to the alliance between France and America, and a number of other toasts in the true spirit of the revolution, were given, and accompanied with the discharge of cannon.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, August 13.
"General Sir Guy Carleton has just solicited the Congress to settle a cartel for the exchange of prisoners, I believe with a view to open a more important treaty: he is subtle and reserved, and I am confident a better officer than any General the enemy have yet sent to command in America. I am
satisfied Congress and the Commander in Chief should, with the utmost circumspection, watch his every action. He has thrown open the doors of New York, and all manner of persons may go in and out as uninterruptedly as you go from Cambridge to Boston. A Mr. Blake, a Carolinian of eminence, followed Sir Guy Carleton's famous letter from New York; he confirms the resolution of the Ministry for peace, and adds, that a Congress, consisting of all the Ministers of the belligerent powers, was to meet in June at Brussels, where, it was believed, a general peace would be forthwith concluded."
Several capital seizures of British goods, clandestinely obtained from the enemy, have been made in this town within a few days past.
S A L E M, August 29.
His Excellency the Governor, with advice of the Council, by a Proclamation dated the 23d instant, forbids all officers, who have not been appointed under the new Constitution of Government, from acting under their former commissions.
The Council of Pennsylvania have ordered, that all deserters from the British, who reside in Philadelphia and within 15 miles of the city, shall forthwith report themselves and places of abode to the Secretary, on pain of being considered as Spies.
By some letters found on board a ship from New-York, bound to Ireland, lately captured by Capt. John Buffington, in the privateer ship Marquis de la Fayette, of this port, we find, that the "King's Friends," as they are termed, at Charlestown, were labouring under great anxiety of mind, and deplored the wretched condition into which they expected to be thrown by the approaching evacuation of that place. The humanity and tender feelings of Sir Guy, under the accumulated distresses into which they were soon to be plunged, were their only consolations.
By Gen. Robertson's Proclamation, inserted in a New York paper of the 31st ult. the farmers on Long-Island are required to bring in Half their fresh hay to the nearest King's magazine before the end of the present month, for which they are promised six pounds per ton. Those who comply with this requisition, it is said, are to be protected in keeping the remaining half for themselves.

T HIS may certify that Benjamin Holmes, husband of me the subscriber, has without any just provocation posted me, as I can make appear to the public by my neighbours; and then in the same advertisement asserts that if I will return to him, and behave as I ought to, he will again receive me; but I assert that I am afraid to, as he has behaved so very ill to me, and threatened what he would do to me and his two children which he had by me before I left him: if the public had laid before them the treatment he has shewed to me, since he first married me, they would not think it acting the part of a prudent woman to return to him; here I would not wish to expose his character more than I can possibly help, as I always bore him the regard of a loving wife.

LOVE and FRIENDSHIP.
L OVE to the person is too oft confin'd, But nobler friendship centers in the mind; That to no object settled, prone to change, Is ever prompted by the wish to range; This to one steady point directs the soul, True as the trembling needle to the pole. The first too oft is like the raging main, When boreas bellow with his restless train; The last resembles it, unstor'd by storms, When its smooth surface no rude blast de- forms.
