WHEREAS the Legislature of the Massachusetts has by a late Act altered the current price of Gold Coins, fixing the value of gold at five pounds six shillings and eight pence per ounce, within that Commonwealth, while by the laws of this State, it is fixed at five pounds one shilling and four pence ; which difference, we conceive, will carry all the gold now passing among us into the Massachusetts, unless speedily prevented, by raising it to an equal value within this State. —
Wherefore, we the subscribers hereby engage to receive all gold coins in payment of any debts, or in exchange for any thing we have to dispose of, at the rates they are fixed at by said act, viz. — An English Guinea of the weight of five penny weight and six grains, at twenty eight shillings , and all divisions of such guineas in equal proportion. — A French Guinea of the weight of five penny weight and six grains, at twenty seven shillings and four pence . — A coin of Portugal commonly called a Johannes, of the weight of eighteen penny weight, at four pounds sixteen shillings , and all divisions of such johannes in like proportion. — A Moidore of the weight of six penny weight eighteen grains, at thirty six shillings , and all divisions of moidores in like proportion. — A four pistole piece, called a Dubloon, of the weight of sixteen penny weight twelve grains, at four pounds eight shillings , and all divisions of the same coin in like proportion. And all pieces of coined gold, before in said act enumerated and which shall weigh more or less than is therein established, as their current weight, we will receive for a sum proportioned to the value of gold as in said act stated, viz. — at five pounds six shillings and eight pence by the ounce, until the General Court of this State shall make a law touching this matter, as to their wisdom shall seem meet.

St. JOHN's, October 9.
Capt. Osborne, of his Majesty's ship Arione, which arrived here on Sunday last from Halifax, has brought the agreeable news of an immediate stop being put to the arrival of any rebel vessel whatever into any of the ports of Nova-Scotia or New Brunswick.
[If restraining the brutal and more than savage hands of Britons and Tories from the accomplishment of tyranny and murder , entitles us to the appellation of Rebels , we GLORY IN THE EPITHET , and receive the applause of admiring nations; while the anguish of guilt is in the dreary regions of St. John's , your constant companions. — How long, ye guardians of America, will ye suffer British edicts to cramp your trade with impunity?]
BLANKS of most sorts may be had at the Printing-Office, Portsmouth.
NEW-YORK, November 11. By the ship Fortune, Capt. Haydon, arrived here on Thursday last, in thirty five days from Amsterdam, we have received information that the following gentlemen are appointed Consuls by their High Mightinesses the United States of Holland, to the United States of America: For Massachusetts Bay and New Hampshire — Diderick Laertouwer. For Rhode Island and Connecticut — Christain Coenraad Backman. For New York and New Jersey, — Herman Le Roy. For Pennsylvania — Jan Hendrick Christian Heineker. For Maryland and Virginia — Adriaan Vealk. North and South Carolina and Georgia — Jan Boenen Graves.
And we are also told that the prospect of immediate hostilities commencing against the Republic of Holland by the Emperor of Germany, greatly agitated the whole people of Holland, and sensibly affected their commerce, so that no insurance on shipping could be obtained but on very limited conditions.
THE General Court of this State having passed an Act for a LOTTERY, to raise a sum of money not exceeding three thousand pounds, for the purpose of erecting an Edifice in Hanover, for the use and benefit of Dartmouth College; and appointed John Parker, Joshua Wentworth, Thomas Martin, Richard Champney, and Thomas Odiorne, or the major part of them, Managers of said Lottery, who are to be sworn to the faithful performance of their trust.
The following SCHEME Is accordingly offered to the PUBLIC, which it is to be hoped will meet with their approbation and encouragement — Dartmouth College LOTTERY, CLASS THE FIRST,
Consists of 6000 Tickets, } 12,000 at Two Dollars each, } 2009 of which are Prizes, viz.    1 of 600 is 600   1 200 200   1 100 100   2 50 are 100   4 25 100   20 10 200   200 5 1000   1780 4 7120   2009 Prizes. 9420   3991 Blanks. 2580   6000 at two dollars each, 12,000 
As there are not two blanks to a prize, the Managers flatter themselves with a speedy sale of the Tickets, and that they shall be enabled to draw in a short time; public notice of which will be given, and a List of Prizes published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, and paid off (if applied for) in thirty days after drawing of said Lottery.
Benefit Tickets not demanded in six months after said drawing, will be deemed as generously given for the purpose aforesaid.
It is needless to point out the great advantage this undertaking will be to the public, the present building not being sufficient to accommodate the Students, and having no proper rooms for the Library Apparatus, &c. there is no doubt but every friend to literature and useful knowledge, will promote so benevolent a design, and give all the encouragement in his power.
N. B. Tickets to be had of the Managers, and of Col. Pain, and Mr. Phelps, of Hanover. New-Hampshire, Portsmouth, Nov. 12, 1784.

AUGUST 26. The following is the origin of the fashion of the little round hat worn at present by our bucks and PETIT MAITRES: Monsieur le Comte d'Artois, being out in a field near Versailles, where a very pretty brunette was milking her cow, and singing a SANS SOUCI to each pail she gave the paps, he insinuated on, and took a kiss. The lass returned the salute with a courtsey, and said with a smart air to the Comte, "Sir, if you mean to be familiar in my dairy, you must accustom yourself to bearing the burden of part of its furniture." And so saying, she put the skimming dish on his Lordship's head. This story soon got abroad, and as nothing is so common in France as to create a fashion from the most trifling incident, every man of the gay circle immediately got a hat as nearly resembling a SKIMMING DISH as possible, and it soon got the name of the MILKMAID'S FROLICK.
The Parisians are now changing the form of their aerostatic machines from perpendicular to horizontal shapes. They find that the immense globe obstructed their navigation in the atmosphere, and a Chevalier de la Motte has contrived one which presents a much smaller surface to the wind, and which promises therefore to be more under controul.
In a few days a marriage is to be solemnized between the youngest son of Lord Dillon, and an American lady of considerable fortune.
SEPTEMBER 1. Letters from Paris say, the Duke de Chartres, in consequence of his last aerial voyage with Messrs Robert, on the 15th July, in the Park of St. Cloud, had won upwards of 6000 guineas, from a club of English noblemen and gentlemen.
SEPTEMBER 13. Sunday being a day of rest, 739 horses were yesterday engaged on PARTIES OF PLEASURE.
In fifty churches, eastward of Temple-bar, the congregations amounted, on an average, to SEVEN for each church in the morning, and FIVE in the afternoon. This shews the state of the Christian religion in the metropolis to be far better than could be expected!
Very few of the last orders from America will be executed, as the tradesmen are coming to their senses. Very few dollars make their appearance now; indeed the new states are almost exhausted of specie already. THRICE HAPPY, THRICE ENVIABLE COUNTRY, WHERE THERE IS NO GOLD TO CORRUPT, NO TEMPTATIONS FOR THIEVES TO BREAK IN AND STEAL!
SEPTEMBER 14. On Wednesday a Clergyman was committed to Wood-street Compter by Alderman Hart, on the oaths of several persons, for feloniously stealing two fowls from the Cock on Snow-Hill; before he committed the fact, he had been appointed to preach next Sunday at the chapel in Wood-street Compter.
A very great revolution is taking place imperceptibly in Spanish America; the cautious taken by the court of Madrid to prevent a rebellion, in imitation of the English colonies, have been prudent and vigorous. —Many grievances have been redressed, very able governors sent out, fortifications every where repaired, and new ones erected; above 30,000 veteran troops sent there for garrisons; but the whole system occasions such an expense, that the American dominion on the new establishment costs so much, as to leave barely 400,000. a year to Old Spain; this is enriching the colonies so greatly, that it is likely to have the contrary effect, though slowly, that is expected from it. The people growing wealthy from the great sums spent among them, will be much readier and more able to throw off their yoke. Some of the best politicians of Spain have predicted this event.
AIR BALLOON dress is so much in fashion, and so generally fancied, that some ingenious sempstresses from France have it in contemplation to establish a balloon PETTICOAT, so constructed as that a very heavy person may GO UP IN IT with safety.
SEPTEMBER 24. Accounts from Edinburgh say, that a new sect of physicians had lately arisen in that metropolis, who denied all passive obedience to systems, and apply the system of the Newtonian philosophy to the art of healing. At the head of this school is Dr. Brown, whose disciples have warmly contended with the pupils of the University-Professors, respecting the utility and importance of the new method of practice, in which wine and opium are said to be the principal medicines. This has produced great animosities, and some illiberal proceedings, much to the discredit of medical science.
SEPTEMBER 27. It is hard to conjecture, says a correspondent, whether the Court of France sigh for our East, or the Americans for our West-India settlements, with the greatest ardor; but both are unquestionably alike envious and sincere.
An extraordinary instance of resolution in an Indian woman.—When Hyder Ally had invaded the kingdom of Calicut, an Indian widow, about the age of thirty, braved in person all his efforts. She had upon her estate, near the confines of Canara, a miserable fort called Baily, into which she went, and took with her twelve hundred lancemen, her subjects and laborers, who determined to perish at her side. They sustained two violent assaults, and each time rushed into the midst of the enemies troops, repulsed them with considerable loss. An incursion from the Mahrattas at last gave Hyder Ally an opportunity to abandon the siege. Her gratitude was as eminent as her courage: A young gentleman of the name of Brown was as a free trader negotiating for the purchase of some goods for the European market; he went with her into the fort, and assisted in the defence; after the siege had been abandoned, she made him presents of so much value as satisfy'd his wishes: He returned to Ireland his native country, where he now lives, enjoying a fortune acquired by his virtue and spirit.
We are informed, from respectable authority, that a large reinforcement is intended for the already overgrown army of this kingdom—it is stated so very high as 5000 men; but for the number we will not vouch.—
We are also assured that two encampments are proposed—one in the vicinity of Dublin, and the other in the north.
Two extra messengers are now, and have been for some days retained at the castle, whose instructions are to be ready at 20 minutes notice, to ride express to any part of the kingdom.
Of the many bad administrations we read of, we scarce can find one that did not, at some time, or on some particular occasion, do a popular act; but the present diabolic one is determined that no historian, save the venal hirelings, who are obliged to praise, that they may eat, shall have it in their power to say any thing else, but that from the beginning to the end, it was a tissue of villainy.—Rome mourned the day of the execrable Nero—Ireland will long mourn those of Rutland; cruelties were practised then, and so are they at present; spies, informers and prosecutors were encouraged, and are they not so now? The city of Rome was obnoxious to the tyrant then, and is Dublin now in favour? Yet Nero was once a good Prince, and Nero had some virtues? Rutland has—
PHILADELPHIA, November 9. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the western parts of North-Carolina, to his friend in Virginia, dated Sept. 29, 1784.
"By accounts from the Natchez, the Spaniards are encroaching upon us, both as to territory, and seducing our Indians into alliances. I have not the same opinion of the enlightened policy of Spain as that of France: however I believe several of our accounts are exaggerated, coming from tories who are ever ready to embroil us to our hurt."
"The last intelligence says, a body of Spaniards have taken post at the muscle-shoals, and are building a fort. The Chicamogga tribe have abandoned and burnt their towns, and moved off to some distant part—greatly disgusted with the attempts of individuals, and the state, to get their country without a purchase."
"It is devoutly to be wished, that the powers of the union were strengthened, and the certain acts were deemed treason against the United States."
The following concluding paragraph of the report of the Committee of Council of Great-Britain, extracted from their report of the 31st of May, 1784. "On his Majesty's (meaning the King of Great-Britain) order of reference of the 8th of March last," may be deemed the harbinger of a declaration of commercial war by Great-Britain, against the United States of America.
The committe having remarked upon duties imposed by several of the states upon British ships and merchandise, in consequence of the King's Proclamation or order in Council, restricting the trade of the United States with Great-Britain and her remaining colonies and islands in America, conclude:
"Whether Congress or the several Legislatures of the American States will persist in this policy is impossible to be known: but the Committee have examined many respectable persons, perfectly informed of the state of America, and of the nature of its commerce, who all agree in opinion, that by prohibiting or obstructing the intercourse between the Continent of America and the West-India islands, the people of the United States will suffer much more than any of his Majesty's subjects: and that for want of sufficient vent, their lumber and provisions must perish on their hands."
BOSTON, November 22. Last Thursday night, in a severe gale of wind, Capt. Copeland, bound in here from Baltimore, ran on Cohasset rocks, and was lost—The Mate and a woman passenger were drowned. Some part of the cargo drove on shore.
The same night a vessel from Philadelphia ran ashore on the shoals, and we fear is lost.—A great part of her cargo is saved.
The Honorable the Congress of the United States of America are now convening at Trenton, a place where, we hope, their deliberations will be as pregnant with wisdom, as the prowess of their arms have been conspicuous.

Capt. Obrien of this place informs that on Saturday the 9th ult. being in his vessel, in the river St. Johns, in Nova-Scotia, as he approached the town, coming within about half a mile thereof, and shewing his colours, he was saluted a number of times with a loaded six-pound cannon, and afterwards for about 4 hours, with small Arms, and obliged to come to anchor.—That on Monday morning, as he went on shore to enter, they threatened to whip him; and Mr. WHITE, their Naval-Officer, refused him an entry, for insulting the town of PARR with Rebel Colours, and even denied him the liberty of landing a few thousand of boards to lighten his vessel, for his own safety in returning, telling him that it was unsufferable to shew THEM colours there—That every time he landed, he was insulted by stoning and abusive language,—they at the same swearing, that no rebel should ever enter that Port, unless he denied his colours. Capt. Obrien says, that their conduct appeared to be countenanced by the principal men of the town.
Doctor Franklin, in his address to those who would remove to America, in informing them of the reception they may expect on their arrival, introduces the following speech of a negro, viz.—"Boccarorra (meaning the white man) make de black man workee, make de ox workee, make ebery ting workee, only de hog. He de hog, no workee; he eat, he drink, he walk about, he go to sleep when he pleas; he libb like a gentleman."

PHILADELPHIA, November 9.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New Orleans, dated July 27, 1784.
The Schooner Navarre, Capt. Burrows, from your port, arrived within six miles of the town, and she would have been permitted to land, and dispose of her flour, had not, unfortunately for her owners, an express arrived the same day, with orders to Governor Miro, from Madrid, via Pensacola, commanding him not to permit any vessel whatever from any port in North America to enter the river Mississippi. The reason assigned for this prohibition is, that the plague had been brought in a ship from Leghorn to Baltimore, in September last, where it broke out, and from whence it was communicated to all the sea-port towns in the United States. Whether this is the true reason for ordering Captain Burrows away, or not, I will not undertake to assert; but I am inclined, for various reasons, to think that it was not, and that no flour of your country will be received here in future: Certain however it is, that Governor Miro, will not allow any American vessel to enter the river, or suffer any American flour to be used here, until his present orders from Court are countermanded."
HARTFORD, November 16.
We are informed that a treaty between the United States and the Six Indian Nations, has been concluded at Fort Stanwix, by which peace is confirmed to the late hostile tribes the Senecas, Mohawks, Onondages and Cayuga's, upon their having delivered into the hands of the Commissioners of the United States, six hostages, who are Sachems & warriors, to remain in the power of the United States until all the prisoners in the hands of the late hostile tribes shall be delivered up, which it is expected will be soon performed—and also upon the condition of a boundary line having been agreed to, between the United States and the possessions of the six Nations—by this line a large territory is yielded to the United States.
