P A R I S, July 6.
I N spite of our conjectures relative to an approaching pacification, a formidable expedition, composed of 60,000 men, under the command of the Comte de Stainville, is currently talked of, and it is certain, M. de Langeron, who commands the land troops at Brest, has given orders, to all the regiments in that quarter, to hasten their preparation for departure; they add, that the Marechal de Broglio will have a large share in this expedition, and that he will take the command in the moment of execution. We are assured that for 15 days he has not quitted Versailles, and that he has had frequent conferences with the King.
The Marquis de la Fayette is to set out immediately for Brest, from whence he is to return to Virginia before the equinox. Whenever this young hero appears in public, he is received with transports of universal acclamation; flattering tributes, which the French nation pay to men of merit.
They write from Brest, that M. de la Motte Piquet, having demanded permission to go to Rennes, and from thence to Paris, could only obtain of the Minister liberty to go to Rennes, and, and informed him, at the same time, that he was destined to command an expedition spirited, daring and glorious, in which he would have an opportunity to exhibit all his zeal and activity.—It appears in effect that there is some expedition going forward; the Marine detain all ships; they are making very considerable provisions for said forces, and preparing camp equipage for 40,000 men. Besides the troops already on the coast of Normandy, others are daily arriving.
L O N D O N.
July 6. Col. John Parr is appointed to the Government of Nova Scotia, and has kissed hands on the occasion. His Excellency will embark in a few days for that place, with a considerable reinforcement of troops, which by no means indicates a disposition towards a peace!
Though Mr. Fox certainly looked up to the place of Premier of this country, and expected to have succeeded to it, it is very certain that his resignation was by no means in consequence of his having been out voted in the cabinet, upon his declaration in the most explicit and unequivocal terms for the independence of America.
July 9. The following arrangements are said to have been made in consequence of a Cabinet Council held yesterday morning:
Lord Shelburne, first Lord of the Treasury; Lord Temple, Hon. William Pitt, Secretaries of State; Hon. Thomas Townshend, Chancellor of the Exchequer; Lord Howe, First Lord of the Admiralty; Lord Advocate of Scotland, Paymaster of the
Land Forces; Marquis of Carmarthen, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; Mr. Orde, Secretary to the Treasury.
The nation is in the most uncouth situation, from the so early and sudden change of Administration: the most momentous affairs are now on the tapis, and the smallest delays may prove fatal.
July 12. The Admiralty of Amsterdam published a list of their naval force the middle of last month; which they make to consist of 23 sail of the line, and 21 smaller vessels.
The Duke of Grafton has certainly refused a very considerable appointment under the present Butterfly Minister .
July 16. The present moment may be justly considered as an awful crisis, that ought to excite the most public supplications of Providence, to this isle of liberty.
Yesterday morning an express arrived in town from Plymouth, with advice, that an express-boat had come there from the grand fleet under Lord Howe, which then consisted of 24 sail of the line. The combined fleet was at that time 24 leagues N. E. of Ushant, and the English fleet off the Lizard, half seas over. The foremost ships of both fleets were then within sight of each other.
A confirmation of the above intelligence was received at Lloyd's, and with this addition, that the French were steering for the Texel, and Lord Howe actually in pursuit of them, endeavoring, if possible, to give them battle before they formed their intended junction with the Dutch fleet.
The capture of the Bahama islands forms another article of the catalogue of our territorial losses, and is another unhappy consequence of the late system. Nothing has arrived from Gibraltar: but on the continent it is implicitly believed that Admiral Hughes has been defeated, and that Hyder Ali has obtained a compleat victory.
Earl Shelburne declares for American Independence—at the beginning of the session his Lordship declared, that whenever America was independent, the sun of England would set.—His Lordship has been converted from his old political system, as Copernicus was from the Ptolemaic—He now sees that the world goes round the sun, not that the sun goes round the world; and and tho' the sun of England may set with American independence, yet he looks to see her rise again in all her pristine glory from the West.—The excuse given for his Lordship's change of opinion, is not unlike that of the Mock Doctor in the farce, who, being contradicted by his patient for asserting that the heart lay at the right, and the liver on the left side, assured him that the system of the human body had been totally reversed by order of the College of Physicians.
PHILADELPHIA, August 30.
Extract of a letter from Sunbury, July 28.
"Our troubles come on again. A few days ago there were 4 persons murdered and scalped, and 3 taken from the N.E. branch. One man had 4 bullets fired thro' his body and was most barbarously mangled with tomahawks. We have since had several alarms, and the frontiers are in great uneasiness. As our protection is very small indeed, the consequence is much to be dreaded; for we are entirely in the power and mercy of a merciless enemy."
Extract of a letter from Fort Augusta, Aug. 13.
"I am sorry to inform you, that the Indians are committing their savage barbarities on the poor defenceless inhabitants of this county. From the 23d ult. to the 8th inst. they have killed and captivated 21 of our inhabitants, which intimidates the settlers so much, that those who live above us on both branches, are all preparing to come to the towns, and have given up all thoughts of putting in any fall crops, which is a plain demonstration that it is all over with our county, if something is not speedily done by our legislative body at this sitting, to encourage the people to make a stand.—The 8th inst. a party of Indians came to the house of John Lee, when they took him, his wife and seven children prisoners; and John Walker and three more that were in the house, thirteen in all; the savages promised not to hurt them, provided they made no noise, and would go quietly along; but about a quarter of a mile from the house, they tomahawked John Lee, John Walker, and two of Lee's children; a young child of Lee's they threw against a sapling and left for dead, but it is likely to recover: they likewise tomahawked and scalped a woman and her daughter, who are still alive, but it is the general opinion they cannot long survive."
State of New Hampshire.
W HEREAS application has been made to me the subscriber, by more than one sixteenth part of the proprietors and owners of the town of Boscawen, to warn a meeting of said proprietors for the following purposes, agreeable to said request—I do hereby notify and warn the proprietors of said Boscawen, to assemble and meet together at the public meeting house in said town, on Wednesday the second day of October next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, then and there to choose—1st. a moderator:—2dly, to choose assessors and collector,—3dly, to draw all the lots in said town, which remain undrawn.—4thly, to see if the proprietors will sell all the common and undivided land to the highest bidder.—5thly, if in case the proprietors do not choose to sell, then to see if the proprietors will agree to lay out to the several proprietors their shares in the common and undivided land in the way that will best commodate them.—6thly, to choose any committee or committees for such purposes as the proprietors shall direct, when met.—7thly, to raise any sum or sums of money that shall be thought necessary.—8thly, to agree upon some method to call proprietors meetings for the future.
Henry Gerrish, Justice Peace. Boscawen, August 22, 1782.

L O N D O N, July 16.
The following is a pretty accurate list of the Dutch fleet which has lately sailed from the Texel, under the command of Admiral Zoutman, viz.—Admiral General of 76 guns; Voie, Admiral Ruyter, and Guelderland of 68; Utrecht and Zuidbeveland of 64; Prince Frederick of 60; Ers Prins and Glinthorst of 56; Batavia and Princess Louisa of 54; Rhynland, Schudam and Goos of 50; Tiger, Laudshrone, Wandermeer and Argo of 44; Medimblu and Z-phyr of 36; Waakzaamhuid of 28; Walcheren, Venus and Hoorn of 24; with 2 cutters of 14 guns each: In all 26 sail.
PHILADELPHIA, August 30.
Late advices from Britain mention, that specie is become exceedingly scarce throughout that whole island, and that in consequence thereof a deluge of paper currency is now in circulation, which already subjects them to most of the inconveniences the United States laboured under in 1778 1779 and 1780, from the same cause; the labourers are very scarce, and the people universally discontented, cursing the king with his English villains, his Indian allies and his tory rascals, and willing to submit to almost any terms, so they could once more enjoy the blessings of peace and a free trade with America.
T R E N T O N, September 4.
Part of the French troops under the command of his Excellency the Count de Rochambeau, arrived here since our last. They are encamped on the Commons; below the town.
C H A T H A M, September 4.
The following is an extract from Sir Guy Carleton's general orders, issued the 24th ult. at New York.—"It is recommended to the officers to disencumber themselves of all unnecessary baggage and horses, as conveyance will only be allowed for a very small proportion of camp equipage by land or water."
N E W - Y O R K, August 24.
Saturday last came into port his Majesty's sloop of war the Duke de Chartres, Capt. Purvis, of 18 six pounders and 125 men, and brought in with him the French ship l'Aigle, of 22 guns and 160 men, from Cape Francois, with dispatches for Mons. Vaudreuil, commander of the French fleet now at Boston. She was taken the 19th instant, to the southward of Cape Henry, after a smart engagement of more than an hour, in which the Sieur Prenent, commander of the Aigle, and 12 others were killed, and his first and second lieutenants, and 14 more, badly wounded. The Duke de Chartres has received some damage in her rigging and sails; but the gallant Purvis, with his brave crew, are well to a man, not one of them being killed, and only one slightly wounded, in the action, who is since recovered.
Sept 5. Last Tuesday the Right Hon. Lord Hood arrived here in his Majesty's ship Barfleur, with the Jupiter and Champion frigates, from the West Indies:—The fleet under the command of his Excellency Hugh Pigot, Esq; Admiral of the Blue, left Jamaica on the 26th of July; and after escorting the trade past the Havana, left them with a strong convoy, and with 22 sail of the line proceed for this continent; on their arrival off the coast, his Lordship left his Excellency Admiral Pigot cruising with the rest of the fleet, off the east end of
Cuba; several rich prizes were taken by the fleet, amongst which three polacres with a considerable quantity of cash. Three rebel vessels who had taken shelter under the Moro castle, were cut out by his Majesty's ship Enterprize.
Sept. 7. On Thursday evening arrived off Sandy Hook, his Excellency Hugh Pigot, Esq; Admiral of the Blue, Commander in Chief of the British navy in the West India and American seas, with a fleet of 22 sail of the line.
Lord Rodney immediately on his arrival, is to be appointed to the command of the channel fleet.
We have very favorable accounts from Gibraltar, the garrison having blown up the besiegers chief magazine, with prodigious execution, and killed their boasted chief engineer, a Frenchman.
F I S H - K I L L, September 12. By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, August 12, 1782.
Resolved, That Congress approve the conduct of General Washington in refusing to enter into any discussion with General Carlton, on the subject of the treason laws passed by the several States.
Resolved, That the States of America, which compose the union, being sovereign and independent, the laws respectively passed by them for their internal government and punishment of their offending citizens, cannot be submitted to the discussion of any foreign power, much less of an enemy.
The encampment now formed at Verplank's point is said (and with great propriety) to be the most regular and uniform of any since the war. The whole is decorated with a bowery of interwoven verdure, equally useful and elegant, which extends from right to left of the line; in the execution of which the different regiments have discovered a variety of tastes, interspersed in such a manner as cannot fail to impress the beholder at the same time with admiration and applause.
N E W L O N D O N, Sept. 13.
Saturday arrived a Schooner, laden with rum, bound from Bermuda to New York; prize to the brig Marshal, Capt. Buckley.
Tuesday the brig Marshal returned into port, with a ship and brig, having about 600 hogsheads of rum and sugar; they sailed from Jamaica the 26th of July, with a fleet 80 sail; under convoy of Admiral Graves, with seven ships of the line, bound to England, but had separated from their convoy.
B O S T O N, Sept. 19.
Sunday arrived here a prize Snow, from Barbados, bound to Halifax, laden with Rum, Sugar, &c. taken by the privateer Schooner Scammel, Capt. Stoddard, of this port.
Since our last arrived the State's Sloop Winthrop, George Little, Esq; commander, from a successful cruise, having taken four prizes, two of which were privateers.
A cartel is arrived at Newport, from New-York, which brings advice of the arrival at the latter port of 18 or 20 sail of the line, from the West Indies, with upwards of 20 prizes, chiefly Spanish and Capt. Pike of Newbury Port.
'Tis said 8 sail of the line which left Jamaica with the above fleet, are gone home (convoy to 72 merchantmen) in order to repair their damages.
Extract of a letter from an American Gentleman in Holland, dated July 2.
"A Mr. Grenville is at Paris about peace, and is authorised to treat with all the belligerent powers, but England has not acknowledged us to be a power, and therefore I fear it will end in Chicane."
"I believe that the acknowledgement of the Sovereignty of no nation was ever made so particularly the act of the whole nation and all the individuals in it as ours has been here. America may felicitate herself in the success of her Minister in Holland, whose unwearied exertions to bring about this important event have answered the wishes of her best friends, and whose wisdom, patience and perseverance have baffled the strongest oppositions of her enemies. The controlling influence of the court of Great-Britain over the court of Holland, the intrigues of other courts, the intricacy of the Dutch government, the slowness of their councils, their aversion to take any step that might interrupt a gainful commerce enjoyed while other States were at war, and the reconciling them to part with an old ally with whom they had been in friendship for an hundred years or more, were difficulties to be encountered and which must be surmounted before this event could take place, and as things were circumstanced, an application to the ruling powers alone could not have succeeded. It was necessary not only to engage the attention of rulers, but of the people at large, to enlighten their minds, to remove their prejudices, to convince them of the commercial advantages that might arise from a connection with America, to arouse their antient bravery and love of liberty, to engage their affections from the consideration of similarity in religion, customs and manners between both countries and the regard that once subsisted between our ancestors and theirs. The memorial of Mr. Adams was admirably well adapted to answer these purposes, it was presented at a lucky moment, and soon after translated into both the Dutch and French languages; it obtained the approbation of all ranks of people, was taken up and considered as a matter in which the public was deeply interested, and to which an immediate attention was necessary."
"This connection with Holland will give additional strength to America, raise her importance among the nations in Europe, and render her Independence more compleat. She will not only reap the benefit of a more extensive commerce, but will be secured from the danger of having a power employed against her, which Great-Britain had for a long time been soliciting, and to accomplish which, flattering offers, threats and even unmanly force were employed—Great Britain, not only deprived of that aid from Holland which she had vainly presumed upon, but finding the strength of that nation turned against her, must be sensibly chagrined and disconcerted. Had she renewed her alliance with Holland or made a separate peace, the war would in all probability have been protracted to a much more distant period, than what we may now hope for. But as promising as the present appearances may be, we are not to expect the wish'd for event very speedily. Such is the pride and obstinacy of Great-Britain, that she will not at present stoop to the only measure that will ensure peace, a full acknowledgement of American Independence. Though "she has eyes she sees not, and ears, she hears not." Bent upon her own destruction, she will probably pursue the dictates of her revengeful passions until her ruin is accomplished or all gracious heaven shall have removed the scale from off her eyes."
We hear a New-London Privateer has taken two of the convoy, having on board between 7 and 800 hds. of Rum and Molasses; and as they were separated in a storm, we are in hopes of hearing of some more captures.
W E, the Commissioners, appointed by the Hon. Ichabod Rollings, Esq; Judge of Probate for the county of Stafford, to receive and examine the claims to the several creditors to the estate of Jos. Abbott, yeoman, late of Wakefield, deceased, intestate, give public notice that we will attend said business at the house of the deceased, on the last Monday of this and the two following months, from one to six o'clock in the afternoon of each of said days.

S A L E M, September 19.
It appears by a New-York paper of the 28th ult. that the troops, which we lately said were arrived at Halifax, are a body of German mercenaries, about 2000 in number. It is said they were bound to New-York; but hearing of a French fleet on this coast, they steered for Halifax, where they arrived, after a passage of two months, from Bremer Lee, in Germany.
An account from Charlestown, South-Carolina, of July 6, mentions the capture of a French privateer from Port au Prince, mounting 24 guns, by two British men of war, the Princess Caroline and Zebra. The privateer, the day after she was taken, in a violent gust of wind, overset and sunk off Tybee. Most of the men on board (between 60 and 70 British, and 3 or 4 French) being below, were immediately drowned.
We learn from Martinico, that his Most Christian Majesty's frigates la Friponne and la Resolue have lately captured two packets from England, one of 26 guns, bound to Jamaica; and the other of 28 guns, bound to Antigua; together with a merchantman, loaded with Maderia wine; and that the three prizes were all arrived safe in port.
The French man of war le Dauphin Royal and two 50 gun ships, arrived at Port Royal the latter end of July, from Cape Francois; and carried in with them the English ship Pitt, of 20 guns from Liverpool, which they captured on their passage.
P O R T S M O U T H, September 21.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Nantz, dated July 11, 1782, to his friend in this town.
"When I arrived here, the people at that time seemed to be sanguine in their expectations of a peace, and built largely their hopes on the disposition of the new ministry towards that desirable end; but the pleasing prospect seems now to have vanished, and their flattering views have terminated in disappointment. The late departure of Mr. Grenville from Paris, hath put an end to the negotiation.
"This nation seems to derive new vigor from misfortunes. The combined fleet of 30 sail from Cadiz are now off Brest, waiting the junction of 7 ships from that harbour, and 3 from Rochfort; 17 of the Quebec fleet and two frigates have fallen into their hands. The Dutch are triumphant in their own Seas. The naval superiority in this quarter rests decided with our allies."
The General Assembly of this State, is adjourned to the 2d Tuesday of November next, then to meet at Exeter.
The Resolution passed in Congress, on the 3d instant, respecting the ship AMERICA, was to the following purport.—
T HE Magnifique, a ship of 74 guns, belonging to the fleet of his Most Christian Majesty, commanded by the Marquis de Vaudreuil, having been lately lost by accident in the harbour of Boston; and Congress, being desirous of testifying, upon this occasion, to his Majesty, the sense they have of the generous efforts made by his Majesty in favor of the United States:
Resolved , That the Agent of the Marine be, and hereby is authorized, to present the ship America, of 74 guns, in the name of the United States, to the Chevalier de la Luzerne, for the service of his Most Christian Majesty.
(Signed) CHARLES THOMSON.
Extract of a letter from his Excellency the Chevalier de la Luzerne, to his Excellency the Marquis de Vaudreuil.
Philadelphia, 5th Sept. 1782.
"A proposition for replacing the Magnifique, by the America, having been made by the Delegates of the Northern States, it was warmly embraced by Congress; and the resolution which I have the honor to address to you, passed with the greatest unanimity. Every thing that has been said or written to me upon the occasion, proves, my dear Marquis, in the clearest manner, that this token of the acknowledgment and friendship, comes warm from the heart."
THE SUM of HUMAN LIBERTY.
By SDAME JENYNS, Esquire.
T HAT all men are born free, is so far from being true, that the first infringement of this liberty is being born at all; which is imposed upon them without their consent, given either by themselves or their representatives; and it may easily be shown, that man, by the constitution of his nature, never subsists a free and independent being, from the first to the last moment of his residence on this terrestrial globe; where, during the first nine months of his existence, he is confined in a dark and sultry prison, debarred from light and air; till at length, by an habeas corpus, brought by the hand of some kind deliverer, he is set at liberty; but what kind of liberty does he then enjoy? He is bound hand and foot, and fed upon bread and water for a long period; no sooner is he unbound than he makes so bad a use of his liberty, that it becomes necessary that he should be placed in a state of the severest discipline, first under a nurse, and then under a school master, both equal tyrants in their several departments, by whom he is again confined without law, condemned without a jury, and whipped without mercy! In this state of slavery he continues many years, and at the expiration of it, he is obliged to commence an involuntary subject of some civil government, to whose authority he must submit, however ingeniously he may dispute her right, or be justly banged for disobedience to her laws. And this is the sum of human Liberty.
