TIPPOO SULTAN BAHADRE.
It is almost incredible to think of the number of murders, outrages, robberies, &c. committed daily, and what little attention the legislature of this kingdom pays to them; and what a shame it is that so many indolent, drunken, disabled, sleepy fellows, are employed in the streets to protect us nightly, under the denomination of watchmen, who instead of guarding of us and doing their duty, sleep half the night, and when roused out of sleep stand like barbers blocks, so that any fellow whatever might
knock them down! Why does not the legislature see into these affairs, pay them more for their duty, and employ a set of abler men? Witness the murder of poor Mr. Linton; when a man commits murder, he says to himself, why perhaps I shall be hanged, then I shall be out of the world; why are they not confined for life, or sent over to some foreign country, such as Africa, where they may remain for life? then there would not be so many murders committed, because they would think it so much worse than death, for robbers think no more now a days of being hanged than of eating their meat—What is the reason there are not as many robbers in France, as there are in England? the answer is evident, because their laws are stricter— O tempora! O mores!
The following is a literal translation of the Petition sent by the wife of ALMAS ALI CAWN, who was lately seized upon and put to death, for political purposes, in India.
To the High and Mighty Servant of the most powerful Prince, George, King of England, the lowly and humble Slave of Misery comes praying for mercy to the father of her children.
MOST MIGHTY SIR,
MAY the blessings of thy God ever wait on thee. May the sun of glory shine around thy head; and may the gates of plenty, honor and happiness be always open unto thee and thine.—May no sorrow distress thy days; may no grief disturb thy nights; may the pillow of peace kiss thy cheek, and the pleasures of imagination attend thy dreams; and when length of years makes thee tired of earthly joy, and the curtain of death gently closes round the last sleep of human existence, may the Angels of thy God attend thy bed, and take care that the expiring lamp of life shall not receive one rude blast to hasten its extinction.
O! hearken then to the voice of distress, and grant the petition of thy servant. Spare, O! spare the father of my children—save the partner of my bed—my husband, my all that is dear. Consider, O! Mighty Sir, that he did not become rich by iniquity; and that what he possessed was the inheritance of a long line of flourishing ancestors, who, in those smiling days when the thunder of Great Britain was not heard on the fertile plains of Indostan, reaped their harvests in quiet, and enjoyed their patrimony unmolested. Think, O! that the God whom thou worshippest, delights not in the blood of the innocent. Remember thy own commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” and obey the orders of Heaven.
Give me back my ALMAS ALI CAWN, and take all our wealth. Strip us of our jewels and precious stones, of our gold and silver, but take not away the life of my husband. Innocence is seated on his brow, and the milk of human kindness flows round his heart. Let us go wander through the deserts—let us become the tillers and laborers in those delightful spots of which he once was lord and master; but spare, O Mighty Sir! spare his life! Let not the instrument of death be lifted up against him, for he has committed no crime. Accept our treasures with gratitude. Thou hast them at present by force. We will remember thee in our prayers, and forget that we ever were rich and
powerful. My children, the children of ALMAS ALI, send up their petition for the life of him who gave them life. They beseech from thee, the author of their existence.
By that humanity which we have oft been told glows in the breast of European loveliness! By the tender mercies of the enlightened souls of Englishmen! By the honor, the virtue, the honesty, and the maternal feelings of thy Great Queen, whose numerous offspring are so dear to her, the miserable wife of thy prisoner beseeches thee to save her husband's life, and restore him to her arms!
Thy God will reward thee, thy country must thank thee, and she now petitioning will ever pray for thee, if thou grantest the prayer of thy humble vassal.
ALMASSA ALI CAWN.
The petition was presented by the unhappy woman to the great man, who, after he had perused it, gave orders that ALMAS ALI CAWN should be immediately strangled, and those orders were instantly put in execution. May the curse of the widow and fatherless ever pursue him!
No less than three thousand rich natives, including Princes and Princesses, have been wantonly put to death in the East, within these ten years, merely that the murderers might possess the riches of the murdered.
The vengeance of Heaven has in general pursued our East India despots when they returned home. Most of them either died raving mad, hung themselves, or cut their throats. Some of this work may not be far distant.
Mr. Burke has given administration such a box of pills within these few days, as they find hard of digestion.—The kingdom presently will take the alarm, and the plunderers and murderers of our eastern fellow creatures, may at last meet with their long merited reward— a rope.
It is the general opinion the new India Bill will be the loss of that country to this, and such respect do an essential benefit, restoring to the right owners that which was illegally taken from them.
ALBANY, September 16.
On Monday evening his Excellency the Governor, the Commissioners of Indian affairs, for this state, with a number of gentlemen of this city returned from Fort Schuyler, where a treaty has been held with the Six Nations and other Indians residing within this state. We are not informed what has been the subject, but are happy in communicating to the public, that the most perfect harmony and good understanding prevailed throughout the whole.
We are informed that the American frontier posts now occupied by the British, have lately been relieved by fresh troops, and are victualled up to July 1785.
A N E C D O T E.
THE great Henry IV. of France being asked by one of his haughty favorites, why his Majesty gave himself the trouble to return the salutes of so many beggars who made their obeisance to him in the streets, he instantly replied “Because I wish not to see the beggars in my streets exceed their sovereign in politeness.”

From the Belfast Mercury, of June 11.
The humble Address of the Irish Houses of L—ds and C—s (Lord Mountgarret, and the Minority of the lower House excepted) to his Internal Majesty the D—l.
May it please your High Mightiness,
WE, your devoted and obedient slaves, the L—ds and C—s of Ireland, in P—t assembled, beg leave to approach the foot of your exalted Throne with a new testimony of affection and attachment to your person and government; to express our unbounded gratitude for the zeal which you display for the welfare of this kingdom, by the choice of a Vicegerent so fully qualified to stem the dangerous torrent of innovation with which it is threatened, by a ruinous plan of Parliamentary Reform; and to thank you for the appointment of his able Secretary, and other subaltern officers of state—It shall be our invariable study Great Lucifer, to promote, as we have heretofore done, the interest of thy government, which we look upon as intimately connected with our own interests, and with the peace and well being of all thy loving subjects:—If at any time, dread Sovereign, we shall be found to slacken in our strenuous endeavors for the national advantage, instill into us we supplicate thee, a due portion of thy edifying spirit, that we may be enabled to finish the glorious business in which we are engaged, to your complete satisfaction, and to the satisfaction of every good man, who deserves to participate of your humane government.—We pray thee suffer not our enemies (those locusts in scarlet and blue) to triumph over us;—forsake us not—protect us in the hour of danger; for with thee at our back, we fear not what man can do unto us.
His Internal Majesty's most gracious answer.
I RECEIVE this repeated mark of your attachment with real pleasure. I should be unworthy that faithful service I have ever received from you did I in the least doubt, that, to promote my interest in particular, is your principal aim. I acknowledge a Parliamentary Reform to be my greatest aversion: my interest and your honor requires when it takes place. Oppose it, my faithful friends; and be assured, your personal interest shall not be neglected by me.—R—d will support you: I know him well.
VERSAILLES, July 9.
The 14th ult, the fleur Herbet, curate of Courvevoce, celebrated the 53d year of the marriage of Peter Roussel, a sadler, and Mary Breton. They were first married the 11th of June 1782, the husband is 80 years and six months old, and his wife 83 years and nine months, both in good health, and have 25 children and as many grand children living, who assisted at the ceremony. One of their daughters present was then big of her 20th child: she had lost several.
L O N D O N, August 9.
VIVE LE SCRUTIN!
But what says my Lord the Bishop—the High Bailiff opens his Court about ten o'clock—the High Priest mounts his pulpit about eleven, and the services political and sacred—the perdition of votes, and the salvation of souls, clash so much, and produce a species of cross reading so whimsical and profane, that the following short minute of one days service will shew how improper it is that they should be joined together.
D I A L O G U E.
High Bailiff.—I cannot see that this here feller is a just vote.
Curate.—“In thy fight shall no man living be justified.”
Mr. Fox.—I despise the pitiful machinations of my opponents, knowing the just cause of my electors must in the end prevail!
Curate.—“And with thy favorable kindness shalt thou defend him as with a shield!”
Witness.—He swore d—n to him if he did not give Fox a plumper!
Clerk—Good Lord deliver us!”
Mr. M c g n .—I stand here as Council for Sir Cecil Wray.
Curate.—“A general pestilence visited the land, Serpents and FROGS defied the holy temple!”
Mr. P b —ps—Mr. High Bayliff the authority of that fellow opposite to me, would almost justify my chastising him in this sacred place: but I will content myself with rolling his heavy bead in the neighbouring kennel.
Curate.—“Give peace in our time, O Lord!”
Sir Cecil W y .—I rise only to say thus much, that is, concerning myself—though as for the matter of myself, I do not care, Mr. High Bayliff, much about it.
Mr. Fox—Hear! hear! hear!
Curate.—“If thou shalt see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burthen, thou shalt surely help him!”
Sir Cecil W y .—I trust—and dare say—at least hope I may venture to think—that my Rt. Hon. Friend—I should say enemy—fully comprehends what I have to offer in my own defence.
Curate.—“As for me I am a worm & no man; a very scorn of men, and the outcast of the people! Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and an horrible dread overwhelmed me!”
High Bayliff—As that feller there says he did not vote for Fox, who did he poll?
Curate.—BARABBAS.—“Now Barabbas was a robber!”
In the late election riot a musket-ball penetrated the head of a magistrate four inches, but it not having reached the BRAIN, his worship is in a fair way of recovery.
A noble Lord received a violent blow from a broad-sword, on the temple; but meeting with opposition from a HORN under his Lordship's hat, it glanced aside and cut off the false nose of an honorable baronet.
Among the Ladies, two lost their têtes—One had her CORK RUMP shot off, and several were deprived of their eye brows.
The uncommon brightness of the Aurora Borealis, that appeared on Monday night when Westminster was lighted up in compliment to Mr. Fox, admits of its being said, that this gentleman's election for the English City was celebrated by a general illumination in all its streets; and that, in triumph of his being chosen for Scotland, the North herself put forth her lights!
D U B L I N, July 20.
The word now is, that three commissioners are actually appointed to adjust the affairs of Ireland, who are to be furnished with powers independent of the Lord Lieutenant, who is, notwithstanding to act as a fourth commissioner; the noblemen, for there are no other nominated, are, the Earl of Shelburne, the Earl of Hillsborough, and the Earl of Carlisle; who, by a most strange disjunct and unnatural coalition, are to execute this mission. They have, it must be confessed, approved themselves able and qualified; for the Earl of Hillsborough, when Minister of England, drove America to arms; the Earl of Carlisle was sent to patch up a treaty with these Americans—how he succeeded every body knows; and the Earl of Shelburne, who has a thousand times wished Ireland sunk in the sea, so his property was out of it, and called our Volunteers an enraged mob, in full Senate, is particularly well calculated to serve both kingdoms on the occasion!
A few evenings ago a cabin on the mountain caught fire, and burned to the ground before assistance could be procured to extinguish it; the country people on seeing the fire at a distance, concluded it was to celebrate some great political triumph (being at the time the reform bill was before the House of Commons) and directly began the business of rejoicing upon credit—in half an hour after, a gentleman residing near Drumbo, counted no less than 53 bonfires.
B O S T O N, October 4.
A letter from Halifax of August 31, says,—“Our port is now shut against the New-England people; they are not permitted to enter, neither to buy nor sell; what the consequence may be is uncertain, but we may suppose they will retaliate.—There are great disturbances among the people at Shelburne, so much that the 17th regiment is ordered there immediately to keep them in order.”
Saturday arrived the brig Two Brothers, Capt. Higginson, in eight weeks from Gottenburg: by her we learn, that a rupture was likely to take place between Sweden and Denmark; and that great preparations were making by those powers, for carrying on a vigorous war.
U N I V E R S A L I S M.
THE doctrine which assures all men of happiness after death, or that the wicked shall be exempted from misery and punishment, serves a very unnatural end; for the issue of such a system is that men may live as they chuse, and be as wicked as they please, without fear of punishment. The fears of another world, disturb none but bad men, they lay no restraints but only on our vicious passions and appetites, and infamous pleasures: and therefore all that the doctrine of Universal Salvation, as held by some, is good for, is to give men security in sin. An excellent design for which mankind, and human society have great reason to thank Universalists. The same arguments by which these benevolent men, have expelled all punishments from a future state, with equal force will banish all punishments from the present state.
If wickedness be the ornament, the glory and perfection of human nature, and the blessed end of our being—this doctrine does great service to mankind. It is some times the case that the fears of future punishment will destroy the pleasures of the boldest men.—But what a happy and blessed creature man would be, if he might be as wicked as he will without fear?
When the fears of another world are removed, there is but one thing wanting to set mankind at perfect ease, in the possession of unbounded liberty, that is, that government should be obliged to give up all punishments of whips, prisons and the halter, to repeal their cruel and oppressive laws against the liberties of human nature; to exempt all thieves, robbers and murderers from any punishment, and afford them their friendly assistance to go on in that way, so that they may have no more reason to fear any punishment in this world, than in the future. What a comfortable world upon that plan! Every wise man it is true would wish to get out of it as soon as he could, but then those who would be left, would have the more to share and enjoy.

THOMAS MARTIN, HAS FOR SALE,
directly opposite the north door of the State House, in Portsmouth,
A small, but pretty general Assortment of European & West India Goods, suitable for all seasons,
Which he is now selling at the lowest prices for Cash, Flax Seed, Pot and Pearl- Ash, Shipping Furs, State Securities or Certificates, &c.
HE has in his occupation that large and convenient store on Church hill belonging to the Hon. Mark Hunking Wentworth, Esq; where a vessel of almost any common burthen may come under the end thereof, and discharge a cargo of casks, &c. with the convenience of a crane, and without the expence of either wharfage or truckage, or deliver a cargo of salt, corn, coals, &c. from the vessel into the door; together with a small but convenient wharf for receiving lumber and laying it secure from thieves: Any person wanting storage room for a shorter or longer time, may find this convenience on reasonable terms.
He has scales and weights capable of weighing draughts of more than a ton weight, where persons may be accommodated at any time in the day.
Gentlemen disposed to intrust said Martin with commission business of any kind, may depend on punctuality and dispatch.
NOTICE is hereby given to all taverners and retailers within the county of Rockingham, that one of the subscribers will attend at the following times and places to receive their excise up to the first day of October next, viz. At Capt. Brewster's in Portsmouth, from the 2d to the 7th, Sunday excepted; at Thurston's in Exeter, 8th, 9th and 10th; at Bell's in Chester, the 11th; at Dearborn's in Epping, and Shute's in Newmarket, the 12th; at Mead's in Newmarket, and Butlers in Nottingham, the 13th; at Bartlet's in Pembroke, and Wells's in Hampton Falls, the 18th; at Kinsman's in Concord, and Calse's in Kingston, the 19th; at Little's in Salem, 21st; and at our respective places of abode in Londonderry, from the 22d to the 26th days of said October. They expect that every person will have his account fairly made out, and the different sorts of liquors clearly specified, to prevent mistakes and save after disputes, as an oath will be required of every person—many people having been very negligent in excise accounts, makes this caution necessary.—Those who have violated the law by selling liquors without licence, will do themselves great kindness by attending at the above places, and rendering a fair account of their sales, and they shall be better used than they can reasonably expect, otherwise they will meet with the utmost severity of the law.
John Neal, James McGregore.
