T HE Subscriber intending to leave this Province, in a short Time, when the Co-partnership of Daniel and Robert Fowle , will be dissolved, earnestly desires all Persons who have Accounts open, in which he has any Connections, to settle the same, as soon as possible— up to the first of January will be most agreeable.—Those who neglect, & are Indebted, must expect, that without respect to Persons , the Accounts will be lodged with such Gentlemen as will create Trouble and needless Charges, but by no means ungenerous , after the repeated Solicitations for a Settlement, tho' very disagreeable to ROBERT L. FOWLE.

S A L E M, December 22.
Last Tuesday Capt. Joseph Lee, in the Brig Union, belonging to this Place, arrived here from Falmouth, in 33 Days Passage, by whom we are favoured with the Sherborne Mercury of Nov. 2, and Bingley's London Journal of November 7, from which we have extracted the following Advices, viz.
W A R S A W, October 12.
B Y the late partition of Poland, the King of Prussia will be possessed of a country of 900 square leagues; Austria of one of 2700; and Russia of one of 3440, so that the whole dismemberment amounts to 7040 square leagues. The most valuable are those seized by the Austrians and Prussians, that of the Russians, though near as much as the other two, is less valuable.
October 14. The last dispatches which the Baron de Stackelberg, the Russian Envoy, received from Walachia, renew the hopes we had of seeing soon an end of the present war.—The armistice has been prolonged 40 days beyond the prescribed time; and the negotiations of peace resumed between the Field Marshal Count de Romanzow and the Grand Vizir. 'Tis actually known that the Congress would not have been broke up, if the pretensions of the Russian Plenipotentiaries had been more moderate. By other advices recently received, we learn, that the Court of Vienna has caused it to be declared to the Porte, that if the peace is not concluded within the space of four weeks, she must be obliged, according to her treaty with Russia, to act
in concert with that Power against the Turks.
AARBUS, Octo. 9. The celebrated Christian Jacobson Drackenburch, of whom mention has been so frequently made in the public prints on account of his great age, died here this day at 7 o'clock in the morning, aged 146, having been born Nov. 11, 1626.
L O N D O N, October 29.
This day at twenty minutes past twelve, the Sheriffs ascending the Husting, when Mr. Oliver came forward, and addressed the Livery in the following terms:
GENTLEMEN, "As we just now learn that the customary hour of making a return to the Court of Aldermen is one o'clock, we must, for fear of being guilty of any irregularity, beg your patience 'till that time."
This address was received with applause; and in a few minutes Captain Allen addressed the Livery from his usual station under the clock; remarking, that whatever was the consequence, he would always endeavour to act with spirit and honour in the service of his country:—That whenever ambitious tyrants sought the destruction of their country, the duties of a patient resignation was the doctrine preached by their infernal agents. He observed that in all cases where tyranny was exercised, opposition became a duty. He then severely censured the conduct of the Lord Mayor, in denying the Livery one of their most undoubted rights, that of instructing their Representatives; and concluding with hoping, that when the other business of the day was concluded, they would insist on their former instructions being recorded.
The speech was received with loud acclamations, and Mr. Allen retired for a minute, and then returned, and said, that, as Mr. Crosby was Mayor at the time the instructions were moved for, it would be proper to enquire of that gentleman what had become of those instructions? He likewise recommended it to the Livery not to insult the persons of any of the Aldermen, but leave those who had acted amiss to the remorse of their own consciences.
At one o'clock the Sheriffs came forward, and the Common-Sergeant having read the particulars of the poll and scrutiny, declared the Sheriffs opinion, that as no objections had been made to any of the votes on either side, the state of the election stood just as it did before the demand of the scrutiny, and therefore Messrs Wilkes and Townsend were duly returned to the Court of Aldermen.
The Sheriffs now retired to the Council Chamber, where they remained full an Hour, when the Lord Mayor took the Chair. Silence being made, Mr. Common Serjeant again read all the Particulars of the Poll and Scrutiny, written on several sheets of paper, and declared the Election of the Court of Aldermen to have fallen on JAMES TOWNSEND, Esq;
Clapping of Hands, buzzzaing, hissing, hooting, and growling, were now prevalent thro' the Hall. Mr. Townsend now advanced to the Front of the Husting, and was invested with the Chain, as Lord Mayor Elect. He then attempted to address the Livery; but the Noise & Confusion was so great, that he could not be heard.
In about ten Minutes, by the Entreaties of Mr. Oliver and the Gentlemen on the Husting, the Tumult subsided; and Mr. Townsend, in a spirited and manly Address, observed, that the whole Tenor of his Conduct had been such, that he hoped he had no Need to make an Apology, that his highest Ambition was the Applause of honest Men; and that he would endeavour, unbiased by any sinister or private Motive, to discharge the honourable Trust with which the good Opinion of his Fellow Citizens had invested him.
Mr. WILKES then came forward, and as soon as a most tumultuous Roar of Applause would permit him to be heard, he remarked, that the Right of choosing a Mayor was, by antient charters, vested solely in the Livery—that the Aldermen, by electing Mr. Townsend, had sacrificed the Election of the Liverymen. Mr. Wilkes added, that tho' Mr. Townsend was not the Person properly elected, he was a warm Friend to the cause of the people; and that himself would at all Times gladly join any of the Magistrates, in promoting the Prosperity of the City of LONDON.
Capt. Allen then came forward, and moved that the Instructions might be recorded.—The Lord Mayor objected—Allen again advanced, and made the motion regularly, which was instantly seconded by several Gentlemen. Mr. Crosby begged to know if it was the Pleasure of the Livery that they should be recorded.—"Yes, yes" was the universal Cry.
At this Instant the Lord Mayor arose, and attempted to leave the Husting, and for some Time detained the Mayor, the Mace-Bearer, and all the Regalia.—Mr. Nash, however was resolute, and crossed the Hall to his Coach, amidst such Groans and Execrations as were never before heard in Guildhall.
Not one of the Aldermen retired with his Lordship.
A Memorial has lately been sent to the Court of Spain, demanding Satisfaction for the Injuries several British Subjects have received from the Spanish Power in the West-Indies. It is said to be written in the most spirited Terms, and at the Instance of the Earl of Rochford.
Ten Ships of the Line were put in Commission yesterday; and it is expected an equal Number will be commissioned on Monday next.
Yesterday Lord Chief Baron Parker attended the Levee at St. James's, and resigned his Place as Chief Baron of the Exchequer.
The same Day James Eyre, Esq; Recorder of London, kissed his Majesty's Hand, on being appointed a puisne Judge in the said Court, and received the Honor of Knighthood.
The Insurance on a War for one Year has risen, within a few Days, from Five to Twelve Guineas; at which latter Price very few will underwrite.
Several Houses of Rendezvous are opened at Portsmouth, Plymouth, and in Wapping.
The King of Prussia has a Demand of 700,000l. on Great-
Britain; and he has already declared that he expects immediate Payment.
From the above Circumstance a speedy War is thought to be inevitable.
A Report prevails at the West End of the Town, that the Earl of Dartmouth has lately signified an Intention of resigning his new Office, owing to a favourite Scheme of Government giving him great Disgust.
The same Day Sir Sidney Stafford Smythe kissed his Majesty's Hand in being appointed Chief Baron, in the Room of Sir Thomas Parker.
Letters from Madrid say, that the Empress of Russia has made an Application to that Court for a Fleet to assist her Operations in the Mediterranean, but it is not known what Reply will be given to this Request.
L O N D O N, October 31.
The SPEECH of Mr. Alderman WILKES to the Livery at Guildhall, on Thursday, Octo. 29.
Gentlemen, and Brother Liverymen,
"AFTER the most unfair and ungrounded Allegations, both against the Justice of the Poll and the Honor of the Sheriffs, our Adversaries have been reduced to the necessity of Abandoning a Scrutiny, which was only demanded to create Evidence, and to disturb the public Peace. Upon the fullest Evidence I am now warranted to declare, that if the Scrutiny had been continued by them, a much greater Majority than that declared by the Sheriffs at the Close of the Poll, would have appeared at the Finishing of the Scrutiny, and many Scenes of Iniquity and Corruption been laid open to all Mankind. The Consciousness and Dread of this was the true Cause of the Scrutiny being declined on the most false and injurious Subterfuge.
"The Court of Aldermen, Gentlemen, notwithstanding the Sanction of your declared Wish and Approbation by the Majority of your Suffrages, have not thought proper to ratify your Choice. I give the Gentleman who is the Object of their Choice much Joy. His forward Zeal for the public Service—but I will not be his Panegyrist.
"I am happy, Gentlemen, to be farther useful to you by humbly offering to you, at all future times, the tender of my service, in conjunction with any gentleman, whom you may chuse hereafter to raise to the dignity of your chief Magistrate. I shall thus enjoy the satisfaction of vesting in the Livery of London the full and sole power of electing their own Mayor, a privilege enjoyed by all the other corporations, and which in my opinion they ought to have had at the first formation of the constitution of this city. On every occasion, Gentlemen, I shall be ready to obey your commands and to convince you of my warm gratitude for your repeated favours."
The Court of Aldermen are supposed to vote as follows:
For Alderman Townsend.—Ladbrooke, Alsp, Glynn, Harley, Plumb, Stephenson, Oliver, Scawbridge.—For Alderman Wilkes.—Algill, Bridgen, Turner, Crosby, Kirkman, Bull, Lewes.—Did not vote.—Lord Mayor, Shakespear, Wilkes, Townsend, Lofteer, Kennet.
A certain popular Magistrate, it is said, declares, that it cost him no less than £. 4300 during the course of his late Sheriffalty, as he paid all Expences on both sides.
Great Diligence, we are assured, is now used to BUTEFYE the two Houses against the Meeting of P—
Advices from Cadiz inform us, that Letters had lately arrived from Chili, in South America, giving an Account of a general Insurrection breaking out throughout the whole Province, among the Indians. It is added, that there has been already a most incredible Slaughter of the Natives of Spain and those of Spanish Descent.
The COMET appears now every Night, and may be seen by the curious between the Hours of one and three, in a very conspicuous point of View.
November 2. On Wednesday evening last as a stage coach was returning from London to Richmond, they were overtaken near the Hammersmith turnpike by his Majesty's, attended as usual by a party of the light-horse; the stage stooped, and after his Majesty had passed, a passenger drunk on the out-side hollowed out Wilkes forever ; on which one of the light-horse, who followed with his broad sword, cut one of the horses near two inches deep in the neck.—Surely this daring outrage on the order of the people never can be suffered in a free country.
Nov. 4. A great personage has expressed, in the warmest terms, his satisfaction that the choice of the Aldermen did not fall on Mr. Wilkes.
November 6. The famous powder plot failed in 1605. exactly 157 years ago, which was the amount of the age of old Jenkins of Yorkshire.—How many generations of some families have sunk in a period only equal to that of this one man's life!
Nov. 7. Many of Wilkes's friends think it will be much luckier for him, if he should not serve the office of Lord Mayor for some years to come. Had he once filled that important office, he would have nothing higher to expect, and will therefore be in danger of sinking into oblivion.—But while he has it before him, he will be able to keep up the Bustle, and besides he will make all the intermediate Lord Mayors, and the Creator surely greater than the creature.
P R O V I D E N C E, December 19.
By the Cruiser sloop of war, Capt. Howe, arrived at New-York from England, his Honor the Governor has received dispatches from the Earl of Dartmouth, Secretary of State for the American department, relative to the Gaspée Armed Schooner destroyed some time since, and the very extraordinary measures adopted by government for enquiring in the matter, & punishing the offenders. For this purpose we are told Commissioners are to sit at Newport, and examine such persons as Admiral Montagu shall direct to be apprehended. These devoted persons it is further said, are to be transported to England, where they are to be tried for High Treason. The Admiral, with a num-

ber of ships and tenders, is to be at Newport, and the Commissioners are directed to apply to General Gage for troops, if they should think them necessary.
In this situation of affairs, every friend to our violated Constitution cannot but be greatly alarmed. The idea of seizing a number of persons, under the points of bayonets, and transporting them three thousand miles for trial, where, whether guilty or innocent, they must unavoidably fall victims alike to revenge or prejudice, is shocking to humanity, repugnant to every dictate of reason, liberty and justice, and in which Americans and Freemen ought never to acquiesce.
IN the year 1664 there was a commission given to Sir Robert Carr, and three others, to visit all the Colonies with full power and authority to bear and receive, and to examine and determine, all complaints and appeals, in all causes and matters as well military, as criminal, civil, &c. according to their good and found discretions, and according to instructions that they shall receive. This Commission was looked upon by the Massachusetts Colony as a direct violation of their charter, and as such they represented it to King Charles, who gave them for an answer that he had not given the Commissioners any powers contrary to their charter, &c.
The Commissioners opened their court in Boston at a time when the General Assembly was sitting. Several messages passed between them. The Assembly finally published a declaration, by sound of trumpet, of which the following is a part:
"In his Majesty's name, and by his authority to us committed, by his royal charter, we declare to all the people of this Colony, that in observance of their duty to God, and to his Majesty, and to the trust committed to us by his Majesty's good subjects in this colony, we cannot consent unto, or give our approbation of, the proceedings of the aforesaid gentlemen, nor their abettors." Signed by the Secretary. An honorable historian remarks on the above that the government of the colony he imagined, would not be thought culpable for refusing entirely to submit to the absolute authority of the Commissioners, which must have superseded their charter; and if this authority had been once admitted, they would have found it very difficult ever after to have ejected it."
A LAW made and passed by the General Assembly of the colony of Rhode-Island, at their sessions in Newport, on the 1st day of March, A. D. 1763.
BE it enacted, that no freeman shall be taken, or imprisoned or deprived of his freehold liberty, or free custom, or be outlawed, or exiled, or otherwise destroyed, nor shall be passed upon, judged or condemned, but by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of this colony;
And that no man, of what estate and condition soever, shall be put out of his lands and tenements, nor taken, nor imprisoned, nor disinherit, nor banished, nor any ways destroyed or molested, without being for it brought to answer by due course of law.
BOSTON, December 17. Captain Guliker arrived at St. Eustatia from this Place, writes of the 1st of Nov. that on his Passage 20 Leagues Windward of Antigua he spoke Captain Grant from Salem, out 50 Days, very leaky, having on the 21st of September going off this Coast met with hard Gales of Wind, in which he lost his Deck Load of Horses, Oxen, Sheep, &c. &c.
At a Special Court of Admiralty for the Trial of Piracies, Murder, &c. on the High Seas, held at Boston, on Wednesday the 16th Instant an information was filed and exhibited by Ezekiel Price, Gentleman, appointed Register of the said Court, against Ansell Nickerson, a Prisoner in his Majesty's Goal, for the Murder of Thomas Nickerson, jun. on the High Seas, on the 14th of Nov. last, to which the said Ansell pleaded not Guilty; and upon his desiring Time to prepare for his Defence, he was remanded to Goal, and the Court adjourned to Wednesday the 2d of June next.
We hear that a Commission came, by the Cruiser, under the Great Seal, appointing & authorising, Joseph Wanton, Esq; Gov. of Rhode-Island, Daniel Horsmanden, Esq; Chief Justice of the Jerseys, Peter Oliver, Esq; Chief Justice of this Province, and Robert Auchmuty, Esq; Judge of the Admiralty, to make Enquiry into the Affair of burning his Majesty's Schooner Gaspee; and that Admiral Montagu is ordered to hoist his flag in Newport Harbour. As Governor Wanton is first named in the Commission, it is supposed he will notify the Time for holding the Court.
This Commission has been, by some, added to the List of Grievances, and it is said to be an invasion of our Rights, for the King when one of his Vessels has been attacked & destroyed, to make enquiry by Commissioners how and by whom so high a Crime has been perpetrated.
BOSTON, December 21. Thursday last the Lizard Frigate, Hope and Halifax arm'd Schooners, failed from hence for Rhode-Island.
We have certain advices from Surinam, that a party of 300 free negroes, that had been sent out to attack the Rebellious Slaves, had taken one of their small towns, with forty women and children, and ten men, prisoners.
The Packet for New-York, failed the 13th of October.
MARBLEHEAD, December 22. On Tuesday last the Whigs and Tories here had a warm Engagement, and the latter being worsted were put to immediate Flight. As they are rallying by Way of Protest, it is tho' the Whigs will pursue them, and by confirming their just Cause, endeavour to compleat their begun victory.
SALÉM, December 22. His Excellency the Governor intends to meet the General Court or Assembly at Boston, on Wednesday the 6th Day of January next, the Time to which it now stands prorogued, then to proceed upon Business.
PORTSMOUTH. Last Saturday died here, in the 68th Year of his Age, Mr. Thomas Bickford, who, for about 40 Years, was a noted School-Master in this Town. He was decently inter'd last Tuesday.
