H A G U E, October 13. OUR accounts from Brussels dated the 27th, mention that 90 artillery men are set out from Antwerp, towards which place two battalions marched on the 9th; 60 pieces of cannon are expected to arrive in that city, and the troops at Bergen and other places have all received orders to be in readiness to march.
Government have issued orders for twelve armed brigs and galliots to repair to appointed stations, with all possible expedition, for the purpose of defending the ports of Flanders.
According to letters from Bergen op Zoom, the Austrian troops are in motion in the neighbourhood of Zandvleit, and in the adjacent villages; quarters are ordered to be provided for two thousand men.
L O N D O N,
October 18. Letters from Dublin, by the last mail, mention that the enormities committed by the mob every day become more desperate. A reputable draper was, last week upon a charge of importing English articles, taken out of his house, and dragged by a prodigious number of people to a place called the Tenter Grounds, near the Earl of Meath's Liberty, where he was tied to a post, and lashed by those rioters till he fainted; they then tarred and feathered him, and led him through the principal streets of the city. He now lies so dangerously ill, that his life is despaired of.
Another account says, that great disputes arise daily between the volunteers and the Officers of the army on Dublin duty; and that the gentlemen in the suite of the Lord Lieutenant seldom go abroad without meeting with insults from the populace.
October 19. The Dutch mail of yesterday is full of dreadful accounts from Vienna, of damage sustained by fire. On the 7th of Sept. 107 houses were destroyed in the city of Posing, in Hungary; and a greater calamity has befallen the inhabitants of Rokitzau, in Bohemia: In the space of two hours that once flourishing city was intirely reduced to ashes, except about eight houses, the damage to the latter place is estimated at a million and a half.
The same letters say, that so dreadful were the effects of the late earthquake at Ardschin-fchan, that only one dwelling house and two mosques are left standing in the whole city; and that twelve thousand persons were buried in the ruins.
R I C H M O N D, (Virginia) Nov. 13.
By late accounts from the western country, we learn, that the Indians are so exasperated at the proceedings of some of the settlers from North-Carolina, who had encroached upon their territory, that they were making every preparation to go to war; several parties are already out, and have done considerable mischief. The western Indians had been informed by some ill disposed persons, that their whole country was to be taken from them, but on being assured to the contrary, they were somewhat pacified; and it is said had determined to address Congress on the subject. That the Indians about the falls of Niagara had declared war, and were expected to break out every day. That the Spaniards had made offers to several of the nations, and were endeavouring to incite them against the Americans. That a large army of
Northern Indians were on their way against the inhabitants of the Ohio; and that dreadful consequences were apprehended, if some mode was not speedily adopted for their defence.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, Nov. 11. Extract of a letter from the Western Country, dated Smith's River, October 26, 1784.
"About the 10th instant a party of Indians, came across some people travelling through the wilderness to Kentucky, killed nine men and one woman, wounded several others, took fifty horses and a good deal of other property. Ten days previous to this, six people were killed in the wilderness on the road to Kentucky. One hundred and fifty men well mounted, are in pursuit of them. I expect every day to hear of the Indians breaking out on our frontiers."
"If a few men cannot be stationed in Powell's Valley, the people must break up, which will be of fatal consequences to the settlers and travellers, as there are large crops of corn made, which would be a great support to them, and all that the settlers have to depend on."
N E W - Y O R K, November 25.
Monday last his Most Christian Majesty's frigate La Nymphé, Capt. Grandchain, unfortunately run aground on the West Bank; she had on board a coasting pilot, who was not sufficiently acquainted with the navigation of our Bay: but by throwing her guns overboard, and employing lighters in taking out the heavy stores, &c. she got off without sustaining any material injury, and came up last evening to the city.
This fine new frigate of 40 eighteen pounders, a few weeks since, conveyed from Boston to Virginia the Marquis de la Fayette, who is gone to visit his Excellency General Washington at Mount Vernon.
State of New Hampshire.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS there is reason to apprehend that there are in different parts of the United States, articles of Quarter Masters and Military Stores, Cloathing, &c. the property of the United States, which have accidentally fallen into the hands of private citizens, or remained in the possession of persons formerly, but not at present in office, of which the heads of the several Staff Departments have no account.
The Committee of the States taking this matter into consideration, have recommended to the Executives of the several States, to call on the citizens of their respective States, to make return forthwith, of every species of public property which may be in their possession.
I do therefore, with the advice of Council, issue this my Proclamation, and do hereby call on each and every citizen of this State, who may have any public property in his possession, forthwith to make return thereof into the Secretary's office, that so a return may be made to Congress as speedily as may be, agreeably to said recommendation.
Given under my Hand, this sixteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord, One thousand seven hundred and eighty four, and of the Sovereignty and Independence of the United States of America the ninth.

By His Excellency's command, with advice of Council, J. PEARSON, D. Sec'y.
State of New Hampshire.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by the Constitution and Form of Government established in this State, it is provided, that the President of the State, the Senators, and Representatives, shall be chosen annually in the month of March, at the annual or other meetings of the inhabitants to be duly warned for the purposes aforesaid; which provision, it is thought, renders it unnecessary to issue Precepts for their Election, as has been heretofore practiced.
Therefore, to prevent any failure, least any Selectmen should wait in expectation of receiving a Precept, and thereby neglect inserting seasonable notice in their warrants, for their annual meetings, or calling meetings, particularly for the purposes aforesaid, I have issued this Proclamation, hereby requesting all Selectmen or any others who may be authorised to call meetings in particular places for the purposes aforesaid, to pay diligent attention to the directions in the Plan of Government, for warning and regulating said meetings, and to make return into the Secretary's office, as they are hereby informed that no Precepts will be issued.
Given under my Hand, this twenty-fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord, One thousand seven hundred and eighty four, and of the Sovereignty and Independence of the United States of America the ninth.

PORTSMOUTH:
Tuesday last arrived here the sloop Statira , Capt. Thomas Manning, in 37 days from London, by whom we have papers of the 26th and 27th October—from which the following is selected:
H A G U E, October 17.
The Austrian brig the Louis , has been released by Capt. Volbergen, and delivered in the absence of the Captain (who was gone to Antwerp) to the pilot of the said brig, with liberty to recondut the vessel back to the said port.
The Imperial vessel called the Attemp , Capt. Pittenhoven, after being detained some time by contrary winds, failed from Ostend to go up the Scheldt to Antwerp with several persons of distinction on board, and was stopt and taken by the Dutch squadron, and sent into Vlessingen, in Zealand.
On Friday evening the States General were again assembled, and the Prince Stadholder attended the meeting; the debates lasted till twelve o'clock, and the subject of them is said to have been the further strengthening the Frontier Garrisons; Col. Pabst having sent a courier from Lillo to their High Mightinesses, requesting them to send him a reinforcement of troops, as the Austrians are daily increasing in the neighbourhood of that fort, and particularly between Bergen op Zoom and Lillo.
It is said the Republic mean to take a considerable corps of German troops into their pay, and that the Stadholder is going to take a considerable corps of German troops into their pay, and that the Stadholder is going to take a journey to the Brabant and Flemish Frontiers.
October 18. The Duke of Brunswick has written a letter to their High Mightinesses, in which he formally resigns all the employments he held under the Republic, and in consequence set out from Bois-le-Duc on Thursday.
It is not yet known who will succeed the Duke of Brunswick in all his employments; the regiments of Dutch guards has however been given to his Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince, son to the Stadholder.
The Imperial brig the Louis was furnished with an order from the Emperor to the following purport, viz.
"On the part of the Emperor and King. "The Captain of the brig the Louis , being destined to go with his vessel and cargo under our flag directly from Antwerp along the Scheldt into the sea, he the said Captain and his crew are by these presents expressly forbid from submitting to any detention, or any examination whatever from any of the ships belonging to the Republic of the Seven United Provinces which he may meet in the Scheldt. We likewise forbid the said Captain and crew from making the least declaration at any of the Custom houses belonging to the Republic on that river, or to acknowledge them in any manner whatever."
Extract of a letter from Bruges, October 15.
"The Prince of Liege has given orders for all the regiments in Flanders to be ready to march at the shortest notice; the regiments lying here are provided with twenty rounds of powder and ball each man, and hold themselves in readiness to move at a moments warning; the Prince is set off this day for Antwerp.
"The garrison of Sluys is augmented to 6000 men; the ferry which passed from thence to Flushing is stopt; as are those on all the waters from Flanders to Zealand; and no persons are permitted to pass to or from any of the towns or villages without passports; all lodgers also are examined with the most scrupulous exactness; and the innkeepers have received instructions on the same head."
The Emperor has issued an edict further to prevent the evil of emigration from his hereditary dominions, in which he describes the circumstances which shall be considered as decisive of the intention as fact:—1st, A person exercising a civil or military employment in a foreign country.—2d, A person entering into a religious community abroad.—3d, A person going to reside in a foreign country, where he has neither an estate nor a commercial house,—
4th, A person marrying abroad. These are to be considered as proofs of emigration. The edict states, that it is less important to government to punish emigration than to prevent it; and to effect this, the strictest injunctions are given to the magistrates of the frontier towns to take steps against the passage of the citizens; and as want of employment is the principal reason assigned by emigrants, they are enjoined to take measures throughout the empire for employing the poor.
Not so much obnoxious for their religious absurdity, as for their offence against prudence and civil policy, the Emperor is abolishing monastic institutions! a spirited, proper conduct that so far gives him rank, above the Government of this country, which, as it yet in the thick gloom of the earliest ages of superstitious ignorance, continues to connive at those ample encouragements of sloth, and excels, compulsive charities and poor houses .
A limitation of the number of Ecclesiastics in each district, an allowance of all priests to marry, and a future prohibition, that none shall be admitted into the order of Priest, till after the age of forty, or till after marriage, are said to be some of the new regulations to take place in the Imperial dominions.
The purpose aimed at by the proscribed celi-bacy of the Emperor, obviously is the preservation of morals and the sacred sanction of marriage.
It is an anecdote perhaps as well known in Germany as England, that when the reformation was beginning, and was checked by the interposition of our Eighth Henry, that on the law of six articles having passed, that bigot Norfolk said to some friend of his who favoured the new opinion, "Well, Sir, you see there is a law to hinder Priests from having wives;" "so much the worse," exclaimed the other, "for I will be bound for it, you will never hinder men's wives from having Priests!"
The pilot of a ship of war, on any error being committed by him, may according to maritime usage and law be hanged immediately at the yard arm of the ship he has endangered. What is to be done when the vessel of the State is run upon distress and danger by the ignorance of the peculation of a State Pilot, the ministers?—Let a feeling people, cut out of much individual comfort and commercial consequence, by the effects of a villainous Administration—let them, as they feel, JUDGE!—Their sentence, however cruel, cannot be unjust. The provocation cannot be exceeded by the resentment.
October 27. A letter from Utrecht, dated October 19. says "the Austrian and Dutch armies are not yet in sight of each other; but we already may fancy them drawn up, and ready for battle. The commanders of twelve hour-ques and armed gallies have received orders to station themselves immediately, so as to block up the ports in Flanders. The Austrian troops are in motion on the side of Zandvliet; in the neighbouring villages, quarters are ordered to be provided for 2000 men. Nothing is in prospect but sieges, battles, defeats, and victories; and if, after what happened on the 8th of this month in the Scheldt, we may consider the war as begun, Brussels, Antwerp, and Namur, will soon change their masters, and the Republic of Holland double its domains. And if the great attacks are not made until the spring, and if the German troops profit by that delay to cross the empire, and appear in the Austrian Netherlands, even in this case the United Provinces alone, and without allies, will be able to face their enemies, should their number be even 200,000. This assertion may appear presumptuous to them who are ignorant; first, that the Republic has from 30 to 40,000 men, excellently disciplined; 2dly, that there is not a man in every town, who is not in fact a soldier; 3dly, that all the places, both on the frontiers and in the interior parts, are fortified by nature and art, so as to defy the united strength of the Empire; 4thly, that their High Mightinesses, by the disposition which they have shewn to employ foreigners in their service, can, if they think proper, gather more than 300,000 brave soldiers from all parts of Europe, even from Germany and England."

BRIDGE-TOWN, (Barbadoes) October 14.
We are sorry to announce to the public the following awful and melancholy circumstance: and which according to the best information yet received is as follows: Early yesterday morning, Mr. Reynold Philips manager on Walcott's plantation, now in possession of William Morris, Esq. heard a distant noise, and on his looking out perceived the earth from Hackleton's Clift move downwards in amazing large bodies: being much alarmed he removed his family from the dwelling house, and in a few hours after the whole buildings on the plantation (being nearly under the hill) were entirely covered, the mill excepted, which could only be perceived from the eves of the round house upwards. What renders this dreadful phenomenon more extraordinary is, that there had not been any rain for many days past, and that no undulation or motion of the earth was felt where the buildings stood, or on the plain beneath the hills.
PHILADELPHIA, November 24.
The Consul General of France has received official information respecting the trade between the United States and the islands of France and Bourbon, otherwise called the Mauritius.—The American vessels shall enjoy full liberty to import into the said islands, cargoes the produce of this continent, and to sell them for money, or barter or exchange them for the produce of the islands, or of India or China. This regulation is a material addition to the former, by which American vessels were admitted to take refreshments, and afterwards proceeded on their voyage to China and India.—Now they will have their option, and as they find the market in the islands, they may continue their route to the continent of Asia, they may return to the islands, may sell their cargoes there, or proceed farther, and shorten considerably their voyage. It is expected that this liberal arrangement will be very beneficial to the American India trade, and to the islands.
PORTSMOUTH, December 10.
Capt. Moore who arrived here since our last, brought in with him the crew of a brig from Martinico, bound to Boston; the brig had previously sprung a leak and was near sinking, when luckily they were relieved, as above—she was seen to go down soon after.
On Sunday last departed this life, in the 19th year of his age, after a long and painful sickness, which he endured with the utmost patience and resignation, Mr. THEODORE JACKSON, the only son of Dr. Hall Jackson, of this town:—a youth whose amiable disposition, modest deportment and virtuous character, engaged the esteem and affection of all that knew him; and has rendered his death an affecting dispensation not only to his nearer connections, but his acquaintance in general. His remains were interred yesterday afternoon.
Also, died since our last, Capt. John Grant, aged 58.—Miss Lucy Slade, aged 14, daughter of Mr. Benjamin Slade, of this town.—A child of Mr. James Melcher's, aged 7.
