L O N D O N,
The following are the Heads of the Treaty of Peace concluded betwixt the Americans and the Emperor of Morocco, July 24, 1786.
If the Americans are at war with any other nation, their vessels are to be allowed to take refuge in any of the ports belonging to his Imperial Majesty.—All Moorish subjects, found on board the enemy's ships, to be made prisoners, and their effects considered as prizes; the same article holds with regard to the Americans.—The ships belonging to the two contracting powers, when they meet at sea, to salute and parley, but not to come on board each other.—In case of war, it is lawful to board each other, but only two men to do this; and if they commit any excess, the sufferers to be recompensed by them.—If any frigates or cruisers belonging to his Moorish Majesty take an American vessel and bring it into one of his ports, his Majesty will immediately release the ship and crew, and restore their effects.—When any of his Majesty's ships enter an American port, she is to be hospitably received, and furnished with what she may stand in need of.—If an American ship wants repairs, and comes into any of his Majesty's harbours for that purpose, it shall be allowed her to land, and put on board again her goods, without paying any duty.—If an American vessel is wrecked on any coast belonging to the Emperor of Morocco, she is not to be molested in any manner, but provided with necessaries.—American vessels, in the harbours or on the coasts belonging to his Imperial Majesty, to be secure from other nations, and receive every assistance from Moorish subjects. This article extends, vice versa, to Moorish ships in the harbours or coasts of America.
In case of war, if the vessels of the two contending powers happen to be together in any of his Majesty's harbours, they are to depart one by one, at 24 hours interval between the time of each departure; this article extends to the Moorish ships in America.—The prisoners of an American ship, arriving at any harbour belonging to his Imperial Majesty, cannot be given up to any power whatever.—American vessels, saluting towns belonging to his Imperial Majesty, to have the salute returned by the same number of guns.—American merchants, settling in any of the ports belonging to his Imperial Majesty, to enjoy the same privileges and advantages as other nations, and can trade from one port to another, &c. They are to enjoy the same liberty to trade as other nations, to remove their effects, from one ship to another, without being detained for quarantine, and to be allowed interpreters.—In case of a war between the two nations, they are to exchange their prisoners of war man for man.
American merchants not to be obliged to purchase merchandise contrary to their pleasure; nor to be molested in the disposal of their goods.—When the goods are landed, they are to be examined, that the usual duties may be imposed; but in case of fraud, or contraband goods, the person committing the fraud only to be punished, without a confiscation of the ship.—Masters of ships not obliged
to carry their goods from one port to another, without their will, notwithstanding the price offered and agreed upon.—Americans, guilty of crimes, to be subject to the judgment of their own Consul only.—If he require assistance from the Governor of the place, it is to be granted him.—If he cannot determine the case, the criminal is to be sent to America.
An American, injuring or assaulting a subject belonging to his Imperial Majesty, may be imprisoned by the Governor, who is to sit in judgment upon him, but in the presence of the Consul, who is allowed to plead his cause. If the prisoner makes his escape, the Consul is not answerable. If an American subject dies in his Imperial Majesty's dominions, his effects are to be sent to the Consul, or the trading company, to be surrendered to the heirs claiming the same.—The American Consul is to reside in one of the ports belonging to his Imperial Majesty, and considered as other Consuls.
In case of a disagreement between the two contracting parties, the peace is to remain until the matter is determined; if war is resolved on, arms are not to be taken up before nine months after the determination, in order to give the subjects of both nations time to depart quietly with their effects.—It is his Imperial Majesty's thinks proper to grant any new privileges to other nations, the same are to be extended to the Americans.
The peace between the two nations is to last fifty years, from the present twentieth day of the Ramadan, year of the Hegira 1200; that is July 24, 1786.
Feb. 1. The eyes of all the statesmen in Europe are said to be fixed on the decisions of the English Parliament relative to the French Treaty. Most likely this is the case; and it is probable that the good people in America also take a concern in the issue of the business. It is, therefore, the duty of every member of Parliament to act independently and sincerely. The leaders of both the grand parties in this country (and their opinions are most frequently the opinions of their adherents) admit, that so far as the emoluments of trade go, the Treaty is eligible. On the subject, however, of the policy of the measure, no such concurrence of sentiment is discernable. For while Ministry and their friends in Parliament, who no doubt compose the majority, hold, that to sanction the Treaty will be of all conceivable policies the wisest, the Opposition contend, that the wisdom which Ministers see in the measure, appears to them in a very questionable shape; and that they must be much better ascertained of several important points before they can grant their approbation. This being the true state of the matter, one cannot guess with much certainty what may be the degree of popularity that may be attached to the measure when it comes to be passed into a law. But there are reasons for believing that it cannot be unpopular, and they are these: The great body of the people always feel themselves satisfied with any act by which their individual interests are promoted; and if, as they are likely to do in the present instance, they
perceive, that the very measure by which they are to be benefited, has met with the approbation of by far the greater number of those who make laws for the nation, they cannot fail of being much delighted with it.
Feb. 2. We are informed, that the ceremony of consecrating the American Bishops will be privately performed at Lambeth next Sunday, after which they purpose immediately to set off for America, to communicate the sacred effects of it to their brethren, that in future they may have no occasion to go so far to kindle their episcopal torch.
Doctor Prevost, one of the American Bishops, was bred in the university of Cambridge, has a large acquaintance in this country, by whom he is much esteemed, and has the general character of being a man of learning and moderation.
Mr. Adams, the American Ambassador, has had several conferences with the Secretaries of State since the receipt of the last dispatches from Mr. Temple, his Majesty's Envoy at York; and it is the report, that the arrangement of the articles of a Commercial Treaty between Great Britain and America is very near being completed.
N E W - Y O R K, April 11.
His Most Christian Majesty's Packet—, Capt. D'Abbeville, arrived at this port, on Sunday evening, after a passage of six weeks from 'Orient.' By this packet we learn, that five Portuguese ships of war, were to sail the latter end of March, on a cruise against the Algerines, to be stationed at the entrance of the Streights, and to remain out about nine months; viz. Commodore D. Joze Millo, in a ship of 74 guns, and four other ships from twenty four to forty guns.
We learn from Gnas, a town in the Lower Styria, in the jurisdiction of Glechenberg, that the following very extraordinary circumstance lately took place there: One Charron, a widower, had a daughter arrived to the years of maturity; and the young woman, transported to the most extravagant degree of superstition and fanaticism, imagined that she could have no hopes of salvation unless she purified herself by fire. She communicated her intention to her father, who, being equally superstitious, approved of her design, and even promised to assist her in carrying it into execution. All Saints day was the time appointed for carrying the abominable project into effect. On the preceding evening the girl herself placed several faggots in the oven. When divine service began next day, the miserable self-devoted victim set fire to the faggots; and when the oven was red hot, with the assistance of her father, she entered the fiery apartment, the door of which the father closed, and having stopped up the vacancies with clay, tempered with water, placed a crucifix before the oven, and then went out of the house with every appearance of tranquility and satisfaction. Having told some persons, whom he met, that his daughter was doing penance in the heated oven, they hastened to her assistance; but before their arrival, the body was entirely consumed. The father was apprehended, and conducted to Glechenberg, where he has undergone an examination.

BERLIN, December 28.
THERE has been sent to all pastors and preachers in the country, by order of the King, directions that they should add to their catechisms, and instructions in Christianity, an account of the punishments inflicted by the laws on such as are guilty of murder, theft, and other atrocious crimes, that all persons may be acquainted with the pains they are to expect here, as well as hereafter, for their wickedness.

FLORENCE, Dec. 16. The great Duke of Tuscany has just issued a new code of criminal laws which is ordered to be observed in all his dominions. It consists of 119 articles, by which capital punishments are abolished. Torture is prohibited. Confiscations are declared unjust, as involving the innocent with the guilty. Proportionable penalties are inflicted for slight offences, and a more equitable mode of trial is established, particularly with regard to evidence.
S P A I N.
MADRID, Jan. 8. An express has arrived at Carthagena from Algiers, with an account of the plague having broken out at Constantia with such violence as to spread the alarm over all that part of the coast. The number of deaths was said to be from fifty to eighty in a day, and the Consuls and other foreigners at Algiers had shut up their houses, and renounced all communication with the rest of the inhabitants.
F R A N C E.
PARIS, Jan. 25. The King has published a circular letter, addressed to such of his opulent subjects as profess themselves friends to the country and humanity, inviting them to contribute towards the expence of erecting four hospitals in the city of Paris. Such as subscribe 10,000 livres will have their names engraved upon a brass plate, as a testimony to future generations that there were people of philanthropic minds, who delighted in establishing an asylum for the reception of the unfortunate. The Sovereign and his august family propose to contribute liberally towards the four hospitals. There is doubtless great merit in imitating the conduct of the English, through whose patriotick subscriptions great numbers of useful and benevolent establishments have been formed in all parts of the country of that philosophick people.
H O L L A N D.
HAGUE, Dec. 18. The American Minister has just presented a Memorial to the acting Ministers, in which many complaints are made of the heavy restrictions laid on the American commerce with the Dutch settlements in the West Indies, and in America. It is affirmed, that certain stipulations, entered on by private agreement, in the year 1783, relative to the free importation of the lumber from specified ports belonging to the United States, have not been adhered to, and, in consequence, a number of merchants have sustained the greatest damage: The facts are enumerated, and the gross amount of the loss fully stated.

Extract of a letter from Muscow, Nov. 30.
"I mentioned in a letter, which I wrote to you in August last, that two Russian ships, belonging to Panoff, a merchant of this city, were arrived at Kamtschatka, after an absence of eight years, and that they had discovered a race of small people, who were only an arsheen and a half (42 inches) in height. You seem to doubt the truth of this report; but I have since seen an acquaintance of Mr. Panoff's who says, that this diminutive race was found in the interior parts of the island of Onoashka: And that although Capt. Cook, and Panoff's ships had before touched at that Island, these had never appeared on the coast, but were found high up in the country. Two of the men consented to come a way in Panoff's ships; and are, as I am told, on their way hither, to be presented to our court.
"The Empress sets out the 17th of January to visit her new city of Cherson, and her newly acquired province in the Crimea;
where she is to appear in all the pomp of royalty. The horses provided at the different stations for the use of her Majesty and her suite, amount to 41,000."
Extract of a letter from Madeira, Nov. 28.
"A frigate of 32 guns, with seven sail of transports, laden with military and various other stores, have just arrived here from Lisbon, and have brought in with them a detachment of 150 soldiers, and some engineers for the purpose of strengthening the few fortifications that are here, and erecting some new ones. In the frigate there came over passenger Don Alvarez Patodvelos, who has been nominated by the court of Portugal to superintend the commerce with the United States of America, which has lately increased in a most abundant manner, and is likely to produce the greatest advantages to both, as the great inducement for the ministry of Portugal to form any treaties with the American colonies, was on account of their contiguity to this and other settlements belonging to the court of Lisbon.
B O S T O N, April 23.
It is with inexpressible sorrow, we relate, that about sunset last evening, a fire broke out, in a Malt-House, belonging to Mr. William Patten, near the Liberty-Pole, at the south end of this town, and was attended with a destruction, similar to which the inhabitants of this town have not experienced, since the year 1760. The wind at N. E. blowing hard, carried the flakes of fire to a great height and distance, by which, the houses being very dry, were set on fire in so many places, as rendered it impossible to direct the exertions of the inhabitants to any point. The spire of the Rev. Mr. Wight's meeting house, situated at the distance of near 50 rods from the place where the devastation first began, was observed to be on fire, at the ball just below the vane, in less than 15 minutes—as this could not be extinguished by reason of its height, the fire falling therefrom, and from the houses then in flames in a short time demolished that large edifice. In the direction of the wind for the space of 20 rods wide, the fire carried havoc as far as the buildings extended, crossing the Main Street, and destroying the buildings on one side from Mr. Knapp's to Mr. Bradford's; and on the other from Mrs. Inches, to Mr. Osborne's.
The following is as accurate a list of the persons burnt out last evening, as we could obtain, viz.
Mrs. Inches, Joshua Henshaw, Esq. Mrs. Amory, the Miss Johonnots, Mr. Josiah Knap, Dea. Daniel Bates, Mrs. Searles, Mr. John Fenno, Mrs. Warten, Mr. Fairservice, Mr. Field, Mr. Hopkins, Mrs. Wales, Captain Harton, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Shepard, Mrs. Swift, Mr. Pope, Mr. Lowering, Mr. H. Foster, Mr. Enslay, Mr. Joseph Sprague, Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Lehr, Dea. Gridley, Mr. Gould, Mr. Patten, Mr. Gouch, Mr. Heley, Mr. Segar, Mr. Shepard, Mr. Bradford, Mr. Osborne (shop,) Mr. Stowel, Capt. Gardner, Capt. Jackson, Mr. Johonnot, Mr. Joseph Pope, Mr. Wm. Penniman, Mr. Bates, Mr. Clark [Swan tavern] Mr. May, Mr. Langford, Mr. Stimson Mr. Samuel Phillips, Mr. Spencer Vose, Capt. Bosworth, Mr. Emmons. There were several houses empty, which, with the meeting house, shops, barns, and out-houses may be computed at 100 buildings, upwards 50 of which were dwelling houses.—Providentially no lives were lost.
Much praise is due to the inhabitants of Charlestown, Roxbury, Dorchester, Milton, Cambridge and Medford, for their very spirited and chearful assistance with their engines, on this occasion.
The light given by the fire was so great, that at Watertown, a person's countenance could be very plainly distinguished thereby, at a considerable distance.

LITERARY ARTICLES.
About ten years since, Mr. Charles Miller, of the botanick garden at Cambridge, raised from a single grain of wheat, in a space of time not much exceeding twelve months,
three pecks and three quarters of corn, or about 576 840 grains. An astonishing multiplication! produced by repeatedly dividing the stems, separating the side shoots, and transplanting both.
Not less capable of increase is every seed of knowledge, if sown in a fertile understanding, and cultivated with the same assiduity, skill and perseverance. Demonstrate to the human mind the existence of the Deity, and from this root all the attributes of divinity branch forth; his unity, spirituality, eternity, immutability, omnipotence, omnipresence, wisdom, justice and goodness: these again admit of endless subdivisions, each enlarging with our conceptions, and affording boundless objects of contemplation.

A REMARKABLE ANECDOTE.
DURING the regency of the Duke of Orleans, one Law, who had fled from punishment in Scotland, and taken refuge in France, obtained, by his address a great share of confidence in the councils of the Regent. He formed a plan of drawing all the specie from circulation, and issuing bills upon the Royal Treasury. It is not necessary to name the expedients he used to effect this purpose. It is sufficient to observe, that by various methods, he drew most of the specie of the kingdom into the public treasury, and issued bills to about one hundred times the value of the specie, which had before circulated. The notes or securities depreciated as they were thrown into circulation, like our continental currency. The nature of a medium of trade, it seems, was not well understood; such a sudden depreciation was a surprising phenomenon at that period; men of property, who were the holders of the paper, were alarmed; the kingdom was in confusion. When the bills had sunk to a fifth of their value, a royal edict was issued, ordaining that the remaining specie in circulation should be sunk to a level with paper. This resembles, in some respects, the regulation of prices in America. An edict, so rash and absurd, increased the evils it was meant to remedy, and filled the kingdom with clamour. In a short time, the paper was sunk as low as our continental currency, before its death.
The confusion was general; the Regent and Law were obliged to fly the kingdom; and both died in obscurity, the one in Italy, and the other, if I mistake not, in the Netherlands. In France there was a total change of property; poor men made fortunes by speculation, and the rich were beggared. The result of the whole was, that the paper, was called in at a discount, by means similar to the forfeiture for one act of the United States. This example shews the effects of a sudden inundation of money upon industry and morals. No sooner did France feel an increase of the quantity of money, but the kingdom was overrun with speculators; men who left occupations for the prospect of rapid accumulations of wealth. Knavery, over-reaching, idleness, prodigality, and every kind of vice prevailed, and filled the kingdom with distress, confusion and poverty.

UTRECHT, [United Netherlands] Oct. 26.
THE 6th inst. the States-General took under deliberation the illicit commerce carried on by the Americans with the Dutch East-India colonies. The discussion of this matter became the more urgent, since the precautions of the French and English with respect to the trade of the Americans with their Oriental settlements, might induce those people to direct their fraudulent speculations towards the Dutch East India possessions.
BERLIN, (Prussia) September 26.
In the apartments of the late King a collection of two hundred snuff-boxes was found, among which, the value of one is estimated at ten thousand rix dollars.
PHILADELPHIA, April 11.
OUR general advices from the West-Indies in general, import,—that every day affords new scenes of oppression, the trade being distressed by the commissioners, who have ordered several very extraordinary seizures to be made on American vessels—And not only American, but several Spanish—these are sacrifices of the general interest of the islands, to the private views of these freebooters.
A very fine brigantine has been lately built and launched at New-York, on account of the king of Spain, and is designed for an armed packet; some think; cruiser in the neighbourhood of the Spanish main.
She is rated for 22 guns, sixes and nines, and is allowed by good judges to be of a most excellent model and workmanship, as well as constructed of the best materials this country affords. It is reported some other contracts will be entered into for building a number of ships every year by the United States, on the same account; most of which, it is supposed, will be laden out with the produce of the country.
NEW-YORK, April 12.
ABSTRACT OF EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
The treaty has caused great uneasiness, not only in the kingdom of England, but in Portugal, which nation is greatly disgusted at the late treaty with France, that treaty materially clashing with, and in some measure nullifying theirs.
Poor Hattin's head begins to shake upon his shoulders—a majority of 107, on the 8th of Feb. appearing against him.
Holland is like a ship at sea, without a rudder, and almost without a compass. Whether she will drive into a harbour, or dash upon a rock is yet uncertain; but she looks like making shipwreck on the French coast.
The four regiments of foot which had been ordered for Ireland and countermanded, have received orders to continue in preparation to embark for foreign service. One of them (which is complete both in officers and men) we hear is to go to Quebeck, to reinforce the garrisons in the province of Canada, pursuant to a request which had been received from Lord Dorchester General of the British dominions in North America, who has written home by a late conveyance, signifying, that in the present situation of affairs, and the deranged state of the government of the United States of America in that quarter, it is highly necessary all the British troops there should be complete.
April 14. Yesterday the United States in Congress assembled, passed a resolution, recommending it to the different States, to repeal all their laws now in force, which are inconsistent with the treaty of Peace between the United States of America and the King of Great-Britain.
Yesterday Mr. Jones moved for leave, and brought in a bill to repeal all the laws of this State, inconsistent with the treaty of Peace between the United States and the King of Great-Britain.—The act for repealing the citation acts was read a third time, and passed the House of Assembly, yesterday. By this law, debtors who owe money previous to July, 1776, are to pay their debts in three yearly installments, after the passing this act, and all interest to cease from January 1777 to May 1786.
BOSTON, April 25.
We hear from Northampton, that Jason Parmeter , and five others, received sentence of death, on Saturday last, upon conviction of treason—their names, we are told, are as follows Luttenon, White, Colton , of Long-Meadow, M'Culloch , a Captain under Shays, and Wheeler , Aid de-camp to Shays.
That Capt. Moses Harvey , the Representative from Montague, with several other persons, were sentenced, upon conviction of seditious practices. Harvey was fined fifty pounds, to the use of the Commonwealth, to find bonds for good behaviour five years, and to sit upon the gallows one hour, with the rope about his neck.
It appeared in evidence, that Harvey , at a time when the minds of the people were in the highest ferment, said, repeatedly, "That the General Court were rogues, villains, and no better than highway robbers!" That upon application from the rebel leaders, for men and money, he replied, "My hands are tied, (referring to his oath of allegiance, as representative) but my heart is with you"—meaning the rebels, adding "That the people were bewitched if they did not comply with the demands for men and provision, from Grover, Shays, &c. "
Eli Parker , late member from Amherst, and Fowler , late member of the Convention, and of the General Court, from Southwick, plead guilty upon an indictment for seditious practices, and it is supposed, had they been indicted for treason, they must have incurred sentence of death. So that it is not strange to see the people precipitate themselves into riot, insurrection, and rebellion, when the men whose duty it peculiarly is to explain, and by influence and example, enforce the laws, instead thereof, exciting jealousies and spreading misrepresentations against the government—By artful and inflammatory discourses, distracting and prejudicing the minds of the people, against that constitution which they are under the solemn Oath of God to defend and support.
The loss at the late fire, in house-furniture bedding and other necessary articles, together with goods and effects of various kinds, we are assured is very great, and with the loss of so many valuable dwellings, loudly calls upon the benevolent and humane to afford their aid in alleviating the distresses of the unfortunate sufferers.
We are happy, however, in informing the public, that, amidst the destruction by the fire, a curious specimen of art and industry, which does honor to our country, was luckily preserved; we mean the ORRERY constructed by Mr. Joseph Pope. This admirable performance, the result of many years labour and study, is near six feet in diameter, and was almost finished, when the house of the artist, with most of his effects, were in a few minutes reduced to ashes. Much praise is due to those gentlemen who, by their exertions, preserved to the lovers of Science this curious specimen of philosophick and mechanical ingenuity, and deposited, it at the house of his Excellency the Governor, where, we are told, it still remains.
The fight of the fire was plainly seen at Newbury-Port, and at several other towns, near 50 miles distance.
Committees of the several churches in town, on the last Sabbath, set on foot subscriptions for the relief of the unhappy sufferers by the late fire, and we hear the large sums which have been already subscribed are truly characteristic of the benevolence and liberality which have ever distinguished the citizens of this metropolis.
PORTSMOUTH, April 28.
Monday last, agreeably to general orders from his Excellency the Captain-General, the several companies composing the first regiment of foot under Col. Dennet, the corps of independent light-horse, commanded by Col. Wentworth, several corps of light-horse from Col. Cogswell's regiment, the alarm companies commanded by
Colonels Gains, Whipple and Hill, and the company of artillery, commanded by Capt. Woodward, severally assembled on Downing's plains. His Excellency and suite, were escorted to the place of review by Col. Wentworth's corps. The review commenced about one o'clock, in nearly the following order:
His Excellency the President and the honorable chief justice Livermore.
Members of Congress from this state.
General Officers.
Aids de camp to his Excellency.
High Sheriff of the county.
Gentlemen of distinction, &c.
The procession was grand—The troops, after having paid the marching salute, went through the manuel exercise and several evolutions with a pleasing exactness.
In the afternoon a sham fight was exhibited. The horse were divided into four divisions, and severally attacked the column of foot on the right and left wings, each of which were supported by the artillery. The combat terminated in the foot remaining masters of the ground.
It would be a piece of injustice to particularize any corps, as each did themselves honor by the exactitude of their manœuvres and obedience to their officers.
The uniform of Col. Cogswell's corps, (blue ground and white facings) contrasted with that of Col. Wentworth's, had a very pleasing effect upon the eye.
His Excellency left the field about sunset, when the manœuvres of the day were closed with apparent satisfaction, no accident having occurred.
In the evening, his Excellency, with a number of military officers, gentlemen of distinction, &c. partook of a cold collation, provided by the gentlemen officers of the several corps in this town, at the assembly-room. At ten o'clock he was escorted to his lodgings, by a large number of gentlemen, attended with musick.
On Wednesday last the second regiment of militia, under the command of Col. Wentworth, were reviewed by his Excellency the President at Dover.
His Excellency was escorted from his seat to the field by Capt. Horne's troop of horse. When arrived on the ground he passed the review, accompanied by the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, High Sheriff of the county, Aids de Camp, the reverend clergy, a number of military officers, &c.
After the marching salute and manual exercise, the regiment went through the manœuvres of forming and displaying the column upon the different platoons with an exactness and regularity that would not have disgraced old soldiers.
The troops were dismissed at five o'clock, when his Excellency, accompanied by his suite, and large number of civil and military officers, were escorted by Capt. Horne's troop to Capt. Shannon's house, where an elegant entertainment was provided by the field-officers.
GENERAL ORDERS,

Parnassian Spring.
On FRIENDSHIP.
F RIENDSHIP, thou charmer of the mind, Thou sweet deluding ill, The brightest minutes mortals find, And sharpest hours we feel.
Fate has divided all our shares Of pleasure and of pain, In love the comforts and the cares, Are mix'd and join'd again.
But whilst in floods our sorrow rolls, And drops of joy are few, This dear delight of mingling souls, Serves but to swell our wo.
Oh! why should bliss depart in haste? And Friendship stay to moan? Why the fond passion cling so fast, When every joy is gone?
Yet never let our hearts divide, Nor death dissolve the chain, For love and joy were once allied, And must be join'd again.
