The Ship Two Peggies, Captain McKenzie, is arrived at New-York, in 6 Weeks from Belfast, who brings public Prints from thence to the 9th of October, from which the following Articles are taken, viz.
By the KING. A PROCLAMATION.
GEORGE. R.
WHEREAS our Parliament stands prorogued to Tuesday the 13th day of November next; We, with the advice of our Privy Council do hereby publish and declare our Royal Will and Pleasure that the said Parliament shall, on the said 13th day of November next, be held and sit for the dispatch of divers weighty and important Affairs. And the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses, and the Commissioners for Shires and Burghs, of the House of Commons, are hereby required to give their Attendance accordingly, at Westminster, on the said 13th day of November next.
Given at our Court at St. James's the 26th day of September, 1770, in the 10th year of our Reign.
GOD Save the KING
Petersburgh, Aug. 31. The Court has published this day a detail of the glorious victory gained by Count Romanzow on the first of this month over the Grand Vizer. This relation is very full, containing 19 pages in quarto—It appears that the Turks in the battle lost 40,000 Men, without reckoning 2000 prisoners of whom the greatest number are Officers of rank. Our loss on this occasion only amounts to 353 killed, and 550 wounded, as well Officers as private men. The booty taken on the field of battle, and at Ismail, consists of 53 pair of colours, two horsedtails, 2 standards, 4 pair of kettle drums, 203 pieces of heavy cannon, and an innumerable quantity of baggage, tents, carts of ammunition, provisions, &c. &c.
The prisoners declare the Ottoman army consisted of 50,000 infantry, & 100,000 horse, being the flower of the Turkish troops, commanded by their most celebrated Officers.
Prince Repnin in the expedition to Ismail killed 1000 Turks, and made 972 prisoners. The troops encamped round that fortress amount to 20,000 men.
Warsaw, Sept. 8. We have just received the melancholy news by a courier from Gen. Romanzow's army, of the death of Prince William of Brunswick, after five days illness of a violent fever. We have also an account that Paulawski's confederates have seized the Regiments of horse-guards from the suburbs of Krakow; that the plague has spread to little Poland; and that Bender has surrendered to the Russians.
Leghorn, Sept. 7. The Russian squadron that is cruising off Tenera, has taken 40 vessels destined for Constantinople, most of them laden with provisions, & the rest with the most precious merchandizes of Asia and Africa: These vessels being ignorant of the unhappy fortune of the Ottoman fleet, could not avoid falling into the hands of the Russians. It is reported here, that all the isles of the Archipelago have declared themselves for the Russians.
Vienna, Sept. 8. On Sunday last the Duke of Gloucester arrived here, under the title of Earl of Connaught. The next day his Highness went to Luxembourgh, where he was presented to the Empress Queen and the Imperial family.
Paris, Sept. 21. If we may credit the reports current, the Russians have forced the Straits of the Dardanelles with little loss; that their fleet was before Constantinople, & that the Grand
Signior, with his treasure and Seraglio, had retired to Asia-Minor.
L O N D O N.
September 27. The Lords of the Admiralty answered to the body of merchants concerned in the Levant trade, who applied the other day to know if the present rumours of a war had any foundation, was something to this effect; There is no immediate ground to suppose that war will speedily take place."
We are assured that it is determined, if the Court of Portugal does not give immediate and ample satisfaction for the insult offered to Great-Britain, in their illegal and oppressive usage of our English trader, war will be directly declared against her.
The late behaviour of the Portuguese to our Factory at Lisbon, has long been complained of, but without much notice having been given to it by the Ministry, but this last instance was so very flagrant, that it could not be passed over with any degree of honour.
Lord North has very lately declared, that as long as he was Minister, or could direct the helm, no power upon earth should offer an indignity, with impunity, to the meanest subject of Great-Britain.
It is remarkable that the Turkish fleet has been destroyed by the Russians in the very same place where the Persian fleet, belonging to Xerxes, was destroyed by the Greeks some ages ago.
By the late defeat of the Turkish fleet near Scio, the Russians have not only been enabled to block up the Straits of the Dardanelles, but are likewise become masters of Candia and Cerigo, and all the Archipelago.
Orders have been sent to the Commanding Officer in the Mediterranean, to send a frigate to cruise off the harbour of Toulon, to watch the motions of the French there.
It is assured, that a joint association of our West-India and North-American Merchants have made a proposal to Government, to furnish, out of their own pockets, without any Interests whatever, any sum, be it what it will that may be thought necessary for the conquests of the two great Islands of Cuba & Hispaniola; provided that these two Islands, when conquered, shall, by an Act of Parliament for that special purpose to be first enacted, be given share and share alike, to the associators in proportion to their respective subscriptions.
Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, Sept. 28.
"Orders came down by express this morning, for fitting out the following ships with the greatest dispatch, viz.
"Britannia of 100 guns, Princess Amelia 90, Essex 64, Northumberland 70, Thunderer 74, Worcester 64, Modeste, 74, Pallas 36, Venus 36, Juno 32. Such sails for the above ships as are not ready, are ordered to be made by contract."
L O N D O N, October 2.
Lord Chatham, it is reported, has been lately employed in drawing up a plan for settling the differences with America, which, it is said, his Lordship intends to lay before the House of Peers, at the opening of the next Session of Parliament.
The last letters from Boston assert, that tranquillity is perfectly restored in that quarter, & that a free trade is speedily expected to be opened.
At present all party disputes seem to be laid aside: It is said, that most of the principal members of opposition, who are persons of character and property, have resolved, at this dangerous crisis, to strengthen the hands of the Government, that Great-Britain may act with vigour & unanimity against her enemies.
The general toast in most companies now is, Foreign War and Domestic Peace.
We hear that the Marquis of Rockingham is expected in town the beginning of next week.
The talk in the city now is greatly changed. The impending war is no longer dreaded, and flocks begin to rise.
This day came on at Guildhall the election of a Lord Mayor of this City for the year ensuing, on which occasion the Lord Mayor and Court of Alderman went to Guildhall chapel to hear divine service, (instead of St. Laurence's church as usual.) After the sermon, the Lord Mayor and Alderman returned to Guildhall, where, on a shew of hands, Bras Crosby and James Townshend, Esqrs. were returned by the Livery to the Court of Alderman, who made choice of Mr. Crosby for Lord Mayor. When Sir Henry Bankes was put up, there was an almost general hiss, and only three hands were held up in his favour. There was a very full hall.
PHILADELPHIA, November 26 Extract of a Letter from St. Christopher's, dated the 10th Inst. just arrived in the Brig — Capt. Smith.
"By a Gentleman who arrived Yesterday from Dominica we are assured, as a matter of Fact, that the Day before he left that Island, some Gentlemen who arrived from Martinico brought Advice, that a French Frigate arrived at St. Pierre's from France, with Dispatches for his Excellency Count de Ennerie, which were of such Importance, as made it necessary for him to communicate the Contents of them to the Governor of Fort Royal, tho' then 11 o'Clock at Night. This causing some speculation among the Inhabitants, they solicited his Excellency to inform them if they had anything to apprehend from the English. — They were answered, they had not; but that Spain had already DECLARED WAR against England though the English had not yet declared. The Frigate sailed in a few hours for Hispaniola."
The Brig Polly, Capt. Roach, from this Port for Jamaica, is lost on Heneago; the People staid on board two days after she was full of water, when they took to their Boat, and were taken by a sloop and carried to Jamaica.
The Philadelphia Packet, Capt. Miller, is arrived at Baltimore, from London, with great Quantities of Goods.
Abel James, Esq; one of the Burgesses of this City, came passenger in Capt. Valens from Bristol.
On the 13th Inst. departed this life, after a short illness, in Salem county, the honourable JOHN VINING Esq; Speaker of the House of Assembly and Chief Justice of the government of the counties of New-Castle, Kent and Sussex on Delaware.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 29.
Monday last the Post from Philadelphia, brought us the melancholly Account of the Loss of the Ship Commerce, Capt. Adde, and most of her cargo; she was bound from Hull to this Port loaded with a very valuable Cargo of Goods, mostly Woolens, and on the 11th Inst. in a Fogg, unfortunately run aground on a Sand bank some Distance from the Shore, on the coast of Maryland, near Senepuxent Inlet, about 40 Miles S. of Cape-Henlopen, where the Vessel presently bilged, and when the Advice came away was almost full of water and Sand. The Lives of all the People were providentially saved, and of the Cargo about 400 pieces of the Cloths.
We hear that the Lord Hyde Packet, Capt. Goddard is arrived at the Hook, and several other Vessels.

By the Lord Hyde Packet, Capt. Goddard, who is arrived at New-York in 7 Weeks from Falmouth, we have the following Advices.
P E T E R S B U R G H, September 7. THE following is an extract of a private letter from Count Tottleben, dated from Cotatis the 27th of July: "After I had overcome the most unthought-of plots and treacheries, and had brought the body of men intrusted to my care by the Empress, even by force, together, out of the mountains of Caucasus and from Teflis to Russia, I had the good fortune not only to take all Georgia and its fortresses, Annaleri, Touchet, Imeretia, Goresuram and Alexis, from the deceivers Heraclius and lodged Imperial troops in Teflis, but have also plundered the Turkish fortresses of Scheripa, Bagdad, and Cotatis, all of which were well provided with artillery, and have made the three Bashaws, and many others prisoners of war. The Czar Salomon Imocellen, the patriarch, and all the inhabitants of this extensive dominion, as also Georgia, have taken the oath of fidelity and subjection to her Imperial Majesty. I have now but three short days journey to go to proclaim the glorious name of my illustrious Sovereign in the Black Sea."
L O N D O N, October, 3 We hear a great personage, notwithstanding his prepossession in favour of peace, has publickly declared, if the answer of the Spanish court is not in every respect satisfactory, a declaration of war shall immediately assert the honour of his crown and the rights of his people.
They write from Boston in New-England, that the spirit of patriotism daily evaporates among the most strenuous sticklers for non-importation.
The celebrated Mr. O'Brien is returned from New-York, with his amiable Lady, and said to be engaged at Drury Lane. 'Tis said the only kindness conferred upon him abroad by her family, was appointing him Collector of the Stamp duties in America. Yesterday it was reported that an account from Madrid was arriv'd the particulars of which are not yet transpir'd, however, they are said to be pacific, and that every reasonable restitution shall be made to the British court.
In consequence of the above, stocks rose, from 10 o'clock on Monday morning to one, two and a half per cent, and got up one per cent yesterday.
Another account says, a great Personage has expressed the greatest uneasiness till the return of a Messenger from a Southern Court, which may serve to shew how really critical and dubious public affairs are at present.
The Russian squadron has taken 80 vessels, escorted by four ships from Cadro, and richly laden with tribute from Syria and Egypt. Several more ships from the ports of Asia and Africa, being ignorant of the destruction of the Ottoman fleet, have likewise fallen into the hands of the Russians.
There is no messenger yet arrived from Spain, but one is expected on Friday next; according to the Advices he brings will depend the event whether we shall have a war with that kingdom or not.
Letters from Holland by the last mail advise, that they had advice there of a treaty of alliance being actually concluded between the Courts of Versailles, Madrid, Vienna and Stockholm; and it was further said, that Portugal had been invited, and it was expected would accede to it.
O. 4. A messenger is expected from Spain to-morrow, when if the categorical answer from that court should prove unsatisfactory, we are informed, letters of mark will be immediately granted to merchantmen, and commissions to privateers.
It is said that Lord Lifford, Lord High Chancellor of Ireland, will shortly be appointed Lord High Chancellor of Great-Britain.
A noble peer of the first character and distinction who is of the cabinet, offered the other day, in a very public company, that if any one would lay him down 100 guineas, he would give him 1000 if there was a war between us and Spain or France within the compass of two years.
Lord H-----, on Saturday last, at a Nobleman's table, offered a wager of 1000 guineas to 500, we should have no war with France or Spain these six months.
Yesterday Gen. Paoli received some interesting dispatches from the island of Corsica, which were immediately communicated to Lord Weymouth.
The following is the Letter which has given offence to the Spanish Ambassador.
[Published in one of the London Papers.] I Would start the D. of C. against any one of the 3 crowned heads of the Bourbon family. There seems to be a distinct climax among their three Bourbon Majesties. The King of Sicily's eldest brother, we all know, was put aside from the throne because he was an absolute, irrecoverable ideot. His present Majesty of Sicily is, I conceive, just one remove from his brother.
The next crowned head of the Bourbon family, I mean the King of Spain, may be allowed to be one remove and a half from his Sicilian Majesty, if weighed in the scale of intelligent and intellectual beings.
As a proof of the King of Spain is removed somewhat more than a degree and a half from down right ideoty, I will relate a story of him, which will convince any favourer of monarchical government, that his Catholic Majesty is endowed with sufficient understanding to govern the rich and powerful kingdom of Spain, or indeed any other kingdom in Christendom, according to the modern standard of Bourbonean kings.
Some few years ago Charles the Third, his present Catholic Majesty, who is passionately fond of hunting, had accoutered himself for the chase. It was in the month of January, and the weather at the extremest point of cold. The snow began to fall in such broad flakes, that the poor King was absolutely prohibited the chase that day. The servants about his Person were ordered to lay three or four dozen of watches before their royal master, in order that he might amuse himself with the delightful and instructive pastime of winding them up. It seems that even this King affects, and is allowed, all the pageantry, ceremony, and parade of regal state. His servants thus having bro't him the watches, retired, and left Him all alone. It is remarkable of this crowned head, that, like Cicero, he is nunquam minus solus quam cum solus; that is to say, he never perceives the least difference whatever between a solitude and a multitude.
I take the winding up of thirty or forty watches to be an operation which must soon fatigue the mental faculties, and those faculties fatigued make room for the exertion of the body powers; accordingly we are told that his Majesty, who is an enemy to idleness and inaction, the moment he had wound up his watches, immediately perceived by dint of instinct, that the weather was extremely cold. To counter-operate the inclemency of this sharp season, what could his Majesty do? His servants had left his hunting whip in the room with him; this room was hung with Gobelin tapestry. This vivid colours, and lively figure of an Arabian steed, ready saddled, was represented to the life. His Majesty, who is not easily deceived, immediately approaches the high-coloured arras, attempts to mount his Bucephalus; the pictured stirrup fails to admit his kingly foot, and oh! dire mishap, Plump falls his Majesty of Spain on the resplendent wax-rubbed floor. Long did this Mighty Monarch, o'er whose wide dominion the sun never ceases to shine, ponderate in his kingly breast, whether he should correct the resplendent wax-rub'd floor, or whether his hunting-whip would not fall with greater justice on the still prancing, proud Arabian steed. Wily did Charles the Third distinguish between primary and secondary causes. The saddled palfrey could not but appear to be the proper and immediate object of royal resentment. This weighty point determined, and Charles having thus acted the two parts of juryman and judge, there remained
only the executioner's part for him to perform. Instantly he sprung from the floor & with his 3 strong'd hunting-whip, during thirty-four minutes, two seconds and an half, with hand uplifted sublimi flagell'd, flog'd the unmoved stately quadruped. At length, half crowned, and half suffocated in his own unfragrant exudations, which copiously oozed out at every pore, the King quite spent, again involuntarily rushed rumbling down upon the resplendent wax-rubbed floor. Alarmed at this unusual noise, the guard attendant in the outer room, breaking through all order and every etiquette of Madrid's solemn, stately marching court, quickly rushed into the apartment-royal, found their monarch, Cyrus-like weltering, if not in reeking gore, at least in reeking sweat.
The faculty called in, all stand agast! and they themselves shivering with cold intense, much wonder whence the cause of all this burning heat which thus unknown had overpowered their King. When strait, as rising from a trance, and starting into life again, thus oracularly, answered Charles the Third,
"Be not surprized that thus I sweat, for by this watch of Graham's make, thirty-four minutes, two seconds and a half, have I been flogging, with this whip, whose ponderous handle is of maffay gold, that high stomached quadruped, whose traitorous hoof hath twice extended my whole length upon this floor." Much more spoke he, while every word was to the full as pertinently wise.
From these outlines, characteristic of this crowned head, your readers will perceive I had strong reasons for saying that Charles the Third King of the two Indies, is rather more than a degree and a half less unwise, than his Son Ferdinand the Fourth, King of the two Sicilies.
In my next letter I will draw the picture of that other crowned head of the Bourbon family, Lewis the Fifteenth King of Navarre.
Sept. 22. It is notorious, says the L. Ev. Post, that the French & Spaniards have, for many months, been fitting out ships of war in all their ports, as well upon the Atlantic, as the Mediterranean seas. Our Ministry pretend to be ignorant of these alarming, obvious, and well known transactions. If you ask one of them, Whether the French intend to impede the progress of the Russians in the Mediterranean? their ready-made answer is, The French have no fleet fit to put to sea. If you should demand, Whether the Spaniards have sent a number of ships to seize Falkland's island, to drive our people away, and keep possession of it? they have an answer ready for that question also,---It is a very immaterial matter---not worth disputing about---if the King of Spain will have it, why let him have it! and so on to every other question you can possibly ask, the answers are all prepared.
It may seem strange to those who are not hackneyed in the little knaveries of the courts of Europe, how the Christian powers, whose treaties of peace are drawn up with the most faithful precision, and ratified with the greatest solemnity, are almost continually at war. The truth is, according to the late refined system of politics, there is nothing more easy than to break a treaty ratified in all the usual forms, and neither party be the aggressor. One side, for instance, breaking a trifling article, by mistake; the opposite party, upon this, makes a small but premeditated reprisal; this brings on a return of greater from the other: Both sides complain of injuries and infractions, and to prove that they are both in the right, have recourse to arms. War is declared; they beat, are beaten; some two or three hundred thousand men are killed: they grow tired, leave off just where they began, and so sit coolly down to making new treaties.
A few days before the press-warrants were issued, the Ministry, and all their understrappers, down to the lowest Clerks in office, positively denied the probability of a war; which shews they wish to avoid it at any rate. Upon the appearance of the warrants the lie was scouted. Now that the press has continued five days, and they think that the alarm has subsided a little, they are peeping out of their lurking holes, uttering these assertions (which they have ordered their dependence to circulate among the people) "There will be no war---you may rest assured, there will be no war."
P H I L A D E L P H I A, November 26.
Extract of a Letter from London, September 25. The late hostile blow struck by the Spaniards at our new settlement at Falkland Island, and the warlike preparations making by France and Spain, hath alarmed this nation, and even aroused the Ministry from their lethargy---in consequence of which, great naval armaments are preparing, and we have now a constant din of war in our ears; and our politicians confidently insist that we are on the eve of a rupture with Spain, and that France, on that event will not stand neuter. A union among ourselves is now allowed to be our true interest, and the Colonies are spoken of by courtiers in less invidious terms. We have a grand fleet nearly ready for sea.
N E W - Y O R K, Nov. 29.
Died Mr. Joseph Trotter, aged 80 Years. We hear, that a Boat belonging to Shrewsbury, was on Sunday drove ashore on Long-Island, near the Ferry, where she beat to Pieces on the Rocks.
On Wednesday the 21st Inst. arrived here, the Sloop Amigty, Capt. David Harrison, in 6 Weeks from the River Gambia. He brings Advice, that Capt. Morrison, late of the Brig Elizabeth, (belonging to London, but which sailed from this Port about June last) together with his whole Crew, died in that River, where the Brig remained when Capt. Harrison left it. One Mr. Morrison and his Son who were Passengers on board, are lately arrived in Philadelphia.
Sir Charles O'Hara, Governor of Senegal, failed for England last September in order (it is said) to establish a new form of Government on the Windward Part of Africa, as well as lodge some Complaints respecting the Encouragements of the French in Gambia.
PROVIDENCE, Dec. 1.
Capt. Oliver Bowen from Cape-Nichola Mole, informs, that a pestilential Fever continues to rage at Port au Prince and Leoganne, carrying off great Numbers of the Inhabitants. Earthquakes continued to be very frequent at both these Places, but the People having become habituated thereto, paid little more regard to the shocks than to the Rumbling of Thunder.
B O S T O N, December 10, 1770. Last Monday arrived in Nantasket-Harbour, the Tweed Frigate, Captain Collier, after a Passage of 25 Days from New-York, the Weather having been very blustering on the Coast, she received some Damage in her Sails and Rigging, which it is said will pre-
vent her sailing for England for some time. The Tweed brought the Right Hon. the Earl of Dunmore to his Government of New-York, and is now come here to take on board Lady Bernard, and Family, for England.
At the Superior Court of Judicature, Court of Assize and General Goal Delivery, now holden at Boston, for the County of Suffolk, came on the Trial of Eight Soldiers belonging to the 29th Regiment, who stood indicted for the Murder of the several Persons on the Evening of the 5th of March last, by firing their Guns in King-street: The Examination of Witnesses took up five Days, the Council for the Crown and the Council for the Prisoners held about two Days: On Wednesday Forenoon the Honourable Court summed up the Case, which finished after One o'Clock, P. M. when the Jury went out, and in about two Hours brought in their Verdict, Two of the Soldiers (Killroy and Montgomery) guilty of Manslaughter; the other Six, Not Guilty. The two former were recommitted to Goal, and the six were discharged, who immediately went to the Castle.
On Thursday last his Majesty's Ship Glasgow failed for England in her went Passengers, Hon. James Murray, Esq; Capt. Preston of the 29th Regiment, Lieut. Rose of the 14th, Lieut. Scott, of the Navy, and his Lady, the Lady of Capt. Lemoyne of the Royal Train of Artillery, Capt. Atherton, who was commissioned in the Ranging Service by General Amherst, and Mr. Robert Fletcher, of Halifax, Printer and Stationer.
We hear the Minerva Frigate, failed from England for this port, before the Lord Hyde Packet, which arrived last Week at N. York.
Yesterday se'nnight a Child of Mr. George Trott, was baptised by the Rev. Dr. Byles, by the Name of George Whitefield. Among all the Children lately called after that late great and highly esteemed Man, it is hoped ONE will at least be properly educated, so as to be the better enabled to imitate the universally lamented Original, for otherwise, as a Lady of Distinction, not long since observ'd, it will be but little Credit to HIM whom England and America, now mourns the loss of, to see in some future Day a George Whitefield, of a low and dirty Business.
The First BIBLE ever printed in America. P R O P O S A L S
For printing by Subscription, in a most beautiful and elegant Manner, in two large Volumes Folio.
The Holy Bible, Containing the OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS, Or a FAMILY BIBLE,
With Annotations and Parallel Scriptures. By the late Rev'd SAMUEL CLARK, A. M. C O N D I T I O N S.
I. The Text of the Bible will be printed on a very fine new TYPE, which, by good Judges, has been pronounced preferable, both as to Size and Elegance, to that on which Mr. Baskerville's celebrated Bible is printed (Baskerville's Bible without Annotations cost the Subscribers 4 Guinea.) The Notes will be printed on a Type something smaller than the Text, though considerably larger than the Notes to any BIBLE ever yet published. Of both these Types the two Pages annexed to the large Proposals are Specimens.
II. The Paper, (which is to be the Manufacture of this Country) shall be the same as that on which the large Proposals are printed.
N. B. A few Copies will be printed on Superfine Imperial Paper, if subscribed for.
III. In order to render the above Work easy to the Buyer, it is proposed, that a number containing FIVE SHEETS, or TWENTY PAGES, and the same Size with the large Proposal, (sewed in a Cover) be ready to be delivered to Subscribers every Fortnight, at the Price of ONE SHILLING Sterling each Number. The Superfine Imperial Paper double Price.
IV. From the splendid Manner in which it is intended to execute this Work, it is computed it will extend to THREE HUNDRED, and FIFTY SHEETS, or SEVENTY NUMBERS: Should it exceed, the overplus will be delivered gratis to the SUBSCRIBERS. If it be comprised in fewer Numbers, our AUTHOR's much admired HARMONY of the GOSPELS will be added to this Work.
V. In order to encourage Booksellers, Country Traders, &c. to procure Subscriptions for this Grand and useful Work, the Publisher will give TWO COPIES gratis to such as shall collect ONE DOZEN of Subscribers, they taking the Trouble of distributing the Copies to their Subscribers, and collecting the Money from them. Booksellers, Country Traders, may be supplied with Proposals, by applying to JOHN FLEMING, at his PRINTING OFFICE, Newbury Street, nearly opposite the White Horse Tavern, Boston, where SUBSCRIPTIONS are taken in.
VI. The Subscribers Names will be printed.
N. B. The great Expence with which this Work will necessarily be attended, renders it imprudent for the Publisher to venture on it, without the Assistance of a Subscription. He hopes, that as it is the first Undertaking of the Kind ever attempted in AMERICA, he will meet with such Encouragement as will enable him to render this Work, as correct, elegant and perfect, as the importance of it demands. Should his Expectations in this respect be answered, no Care, pains nor Expence shall be spared: And he flatters himself, he shall at the Close of the Publication, have the Honour to present to this Country as correct and beautiful an EDITION of the SACRED WRITINGS, with Annotations, as has hitherto appeared in ANY PART of the WORLD.
** This Work will be put to the Press as soon as THREE HUNDRED are subscribed for, and a Number containing FIVE SHEETS, will be regularly published every Fortnight, till the whole is completed.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are taken in by JOHN FLEMING, at his PRINTING OFFICE in Newbury-Street, nearly opposite the White Horse Tavern, Boston, And at D. & R. FOWLES PRINTING OFFICE in Portsmouth.

L O N D O N, OCTOBER 2. 1770.
There is a report that a person in a public character, from a Southern Court, has been made to understand, that his visits to—will be dispensed with till an answer be received to some dispatches lately sent to the Continent.
A Gentleman of character and fortune is sent off express to Madrid. The Ministry are determined not to act rashly in the present crisis, but to proceed through every step of this important quarrel deliberately and slowly; they are determined to stoop to argument, before they rise to blows. If the messenger meets with an honorable reception at the Court of Madrid, and receives candid answers to his interrogatories concerning Falkland-Islands, it will seem to merit a candid discussion on both sides but if he is put off with shuffling, evasive answers, (as is thought will be the case,) the express is to return immediately,—and a British fleet will easily assert the British rights.
It is asserted, that there are several aggravating circumstances, relating to the affair at Falkland-Islands, in the papers of the Favourite sloop of war, which have not yet been made public.
The Commander of the Favourite sloop of war, from Falkland-Islands, has we hear, been introduced to his Majesty, and honored with a private conference.
Tuesday last a letter was sent to the Lord-Mayor, to inform him, that a grand Council would be held in a few days, concerning the present critical situation of affairs with respect to Spain; and to assure his Lordship, that he should be immediately acquainted with the determination thereupon.
Wednesday, after the breaking up of the Admiralty Board, an Express was sent off to Falmouth, to be forwarded by an advice boat to the Commander of his Majesty's squadron at Newfoundland.
The same day an order was sent to the Board of Ordnance for a large quantity of powder, balls, bombs, and shells, for the use of his Majesty's garrisons of Gibraltar and Port Mahon.
The sword of war, like the sword of Damocles, hangs, we are told, as it were by a horse hair. The matter in dispute between us and Spain, it is said, stands thus: Falkland Island is considered by the Ministry, as an object of no very great consequence, and which they can at any time, easily repossess themselves of; but the affront offered to the nation in taking it, is looked upon as the greatest. In re-assertment therefore for such an outrage to the law of nations, as well as to the last treaty of peace, a messenger has been sent to the Spaniards, to let them know, that they must immediately reinstate us in possession of Falkland Island, and make good all the damages done there; that they must also now pay directly the Manilla ransom, without deduction or abatement; further-more, that they must indemnify us for the expence of our present equipments amounting, according to estimate, to 700,000l. and make a proper apology for this scandalous infraction of peace, by their Ambassador, otherwise, that War will be instantly declared. The public will doubtless be impatient to know how these terms are received by the haughty Spaniards.

W HILL Britain's sons in self opinion wise, Each foreign folly lash and satirize; While we, our own importance to advance, Shew jealous Spaniards, and the sops of
(France; We may by them, with strictest truth be blam'd, And Britain's Isle, the Isle of Dogs be nam'd. If future times we might anticipate, Or cast an eye into the Book of Fate; With reason good, we might expect to see, Honour conferr'd on Dogs of each degree; See Lords and Dukes support a Puppy's pall, And tears of grief for say'rite Lap dogs fall. No florid speeches 'gainst this Act we hear, No bold declaimers in the lists appear; No flannel'd Patriot with distorted face, Opposing measures, 'cause he's out of place; No troops of rhetoric or fine spun phrase, To gain attention, and news paper praise: No tribute bold to take the people's part, With manly eloquence, to reach the heart. Who cou'd withstand this patriotic Act, Founded on Reason, buttress'd up by fact? No; all was hush, no insolent demur, In Britain's Caul's ber Friends must all concur: Sure cerberus , as ancient stories tell, Who keeps the door, and guards the mouth of Hell; Did at that time at W — r attend, And give his word each Patriot to befriend. Methinks I hear the Hydra headed brute, Thus to his royal master raise his suit; 'Great Lucifer , upon our British friends, 'Our cause on earth most certainly depends; 'Shew then dread Sire, some proof of your regard, 'And with warm places all their zeal reward.'
***** To the PRINTER. SIR, IN the late Bishop of Cloyne's inquiry concerning the virtues of tar-water, I find the following observation, which as a friend to the public, I hope you will insert in your paper. "The public virtue and spirit of the British legislature, never shewed itself more conspicuous in any act, than in that for suppressing the immoderate use of spirituous liquors among the people, whose strength and numbers constitute the true wealth of a nation; though evasive arts will, it is feared, prevail so long as distilled spirits of any kind are allowed, the character of Englishmen in general, being that of Brutus , Quicquid vult, vulde vult ; but why should such a canker be tolerated in the vitals of a state, under any pretence, or in any shape whatsoever? better by far the whole present set of distillers were pensioners of the public, and their trade accomplished by law; since all the benefit thereof put together would not balance the hundredth parts of its mischief. The ruined health and morals, and the beggary of such numbers, evidently shew, that we need no other enemy to compleat our destruction, than this cheap luxury at the lower end of the state, and that a nation lighted up at both ends, must soon be consumed."
L O N D O N, Sept. 2. Count Romanzow, in his Letter giving an account of his great Victory over the Turks, mentions, "That the Turkish Army, contrary to Custom, was commanded by Keplan Ghiaei, Cam of Crimea, as a Mark of the great Confidence of the Sultan."—The Reason for which Remark of the Russian General may be found in Voltaire's History of Charles XII. which is as follows: "The Kam is by his own Subjects called En, peror; but notwithstanding this grand Title, he is a mere Slave to the Porte. The Ottoman Blood, from which the Kams are descended, and the Right they have to the Turkish Empire upon the Extinction of the Grand Signor's Race, makes their Family be respected, and their Persons formidable even to the Sultan himself. It is upon this Account that the Grand Signor dares not destroy the Race of the Kams of Tartary; but he hardly ever suffers any of them to continue upon the Throne to an advanced Age. Their steps are always watched by the neighbouring Bashaws; their Territories incompas'd with Janissaries; their Inclination cross'd by the Grand Vizir; and their Designs ever suspected. If the Tartars complain of the Kam, the Porte deposes him; if he is beloved by them, it is a Crime, for which he is sooner punished than the other. Thus all of them, in a Manner, pass from the Crown into Banishment, and finish their Days at Rhodes, which most commonly is both their
Prison and their Grave. The Tartars, their Subjects, are the greatest Thieves of any People upon the Face of the Earth, and yet, which is hardly to be believed, they are at the same Time the most hospitable.—When the Tartars go to War in Conjunction with the Ottoman Army, they are maintained by the Grand Signor, but receive no other Pay except their Booty. This makes them better at Pillage than a regular Engagement." The following odd Circumstance, which happened last Week at Harrowgate, in Yorkshire, may be depended on for fact; After a Dance one Evening, a young Gentleman observed he had trip'd a Hole in his Shoe; and in Joke lamented the Expence of repairing it, begged the Company's charitable Assistance, and immediately presented his Hat, when some gave him a halfpenny, others a penny, till coming to a Lady on the wrong side of Forty, she put in a Five Guinea Piece. He did not take the least notice then, but the next Morning waited upon her, and begged to know the Reason of so extraordinary a present, as he had not the appearance to excite her charity; she told him the piece of money, was very much at his service; and she was so much prepossessed in his Favour, that if the Addition of 3000l. and her Person was worthy of his Acceptance he might command them at the altar whenever he pleased; after returning Thanks for her good Opinion, he begged a short Time for Consideration; the Result of which in two or three Days, was a Wedding, under Pretence of an Airing. The Gentleman is a Tallow-Chandler of York, not over high in Fortune, the Lady not particularly striking in Person.
