CONSTANTINOPLE, [Turkey] August 12.
THE accounts from Erzerum are of the most affliction kind. An earthquake has destroyed the neighboring country. The city of Arzingou has suffered exceedingly by this general desolation. The greater part of the houses are swallowed up, with their inhabitants. Among the number of these unfortunate persons, was the Pacha Suliman Pacha, who being appointed Paschah of Erzerum, happened to be at Arzingou at the time the accident happened. The Armenian Patriarch of that district, writing to one of his friends, mentions the event in the following manner.—“The new Pacha on his arrival at the capital of Erzerum exacted from the inhabitants the sum of 80,000 piastres; they not being able, in spite of all their endeavours, to raise above 20,000 piastres, the Pacha became so enraged as to threaten the town with instant destruction, if they did not make up the whole sum without delay. This cruel threat spread a general consternation, and prayers were offered up for deliverance from the tyrant. On application by the Turks, the Christians acceded to their views; their prayers were so successful, that next morning a dreadful earthquake delivered the country from oppression, and swallowed up the greater part of the inhabitants, with their houses.”
LONDON, September 24.
PHILOSOPHICAL INTELLIGENCE, concerning the extraordinary Fire-Ball, or Meteor, seen at half past nine at night on the 18th of August, last year.
FROM the concurring testimonies of a number of the literati, who have just communicated their accounts to the Royal Society, it appears, that the meteor was first seen at Shetland, and ascended from the Northward, passed over Arhol House, then over the South of Scotland, Northumberland, Durham, and thro' the middle of Yorkshire.—Thus far its paths were nearly S. S. E. but in Lincolnshire it deviated to the Eastward. When it broke into the compact cluster of smaller meteors, it traversed Cambridgeshire; but recovering its original direction, it proceeded over Essex and Dover Straights, entering over the continent, probably not far from Dunkirk:—It was after seen at Brussels, and at Nuits, in Burgundy, still holding its course to the Southward.
Upon the whole, by the fairest calculations, it seems to have travelled 13 or 14 degrees of latitude, describing a tract of 1000 miles at least over the surface of the earth! A length of course far exceeding the utmost that has hitherto been ascertained of any similar phenomenon.
The duration of this extraordinary meteor, which first took the form of a luminous ball, then became elliptical, and gradually assumed a tail as it ascended; to those who saw least of it, was about 10 seconds; to those who saw most of it, about a minute.
It is calculated to have been fifty miles above the surface of the earth; stating its velocity at the lowest computation of twenty miles a second, it exceeded that of sound above ninety times; at such a rate it must have passed over the whole island of Great Britain in less than half a minute, and might have reached Rome within a minute afterwards, or in seven minutes have traversed the whole diameter of the earth.
The learned Dr. Blagden, in his account of the late fiery meteors read before the Royal Society, speaking of the different relations given of them, mentions the English newspapers in the following words:
“The information derived from newspapers, however incorrect in the detail, is brought to some degree of certainty, by the check of comparing them with one another; and their frequent publication in most places of consequence in this island, procures us advantages on the occasion of such extraordinary phenomena, not enjoyed in former ages, nor even now, to the like extent, in any other part of the world.”
KINGSTOWN, (Jamaica) Sept. 25.
Accounts are received from Africa, that the French have, by some means or other, almost engrossed the whole of the slave trade in Angola:—Several ships from Liverpool have been obliged to quit the coast with one third of their usual cargoes.
On Monday arrived a sloop at Montego Bay from the grand Caymanas, with an account of a dreadful hurricane happening there on the morning of the 31st of July, which blew down all the houses upon that island, except Mr. Eden's, which was only unroofed, and has totally destroyed the provisions.
October 2. Thursday last, about 12 o'clock, a most atrocious act or deliberate murder and subsequent suicide, was committed at the pen of Lewis Clarke, near Spanish Town. Doctor Pugh, a practitioner of Physic and Surgery, called upon Mr. Clarke, and after the customary salutation, told him he wanted to speak to him: Mr. Clarke said, “by all means, my good friend,” called for his hat, put his arm about the Doctor's neck, in a familiar way, and walked with him across the yard into a field adjoining to the offices; in an instant Mr. Clarke was heard to cry out, and the persons in the house saw him fall; Doctor Pugh with the bloody knife in his hand (it was a Surgeon's instrument) stabbing himself, and after running a few paces, fell also. So effectually had this self murderer performed his bloody tragedy, that by the time a Mr. Brown (who with a lady, happened to be in the house) could reach the bodies, and the distance did not exceed 20 yards, they were both senseless, and died in a few minutes. The neighbours were immediately sent for, & the account having reached that town, the coroner summoned a Jury to take an inquest.
We hear that the Jury of Inquest, who examined the bodies of Mr. Clarke and Doctor Pugh, brought in their verdict Wilful murder, with deliberate suicide , against the latter. —In consequence of which his body, without a coffin, was yesterday morning thrown into a deep pit dug for its reception, in the middle of that public road which is nearest to the scene of his bloody and remorseless deeds.
The inhuman Pugh, who stabbed his friend to the heart when smiling in his face, & combined the superlative horrid characters of assassin and suicide in his own person, left a letter behind him sealed up and directed to a beautiful widow, whom he had courted without success. The contents of that letter, we hear, evince that jealousy and premeditated revenge stimulated him to the black and barbarous action, which fell so heavily on the head of poor Mr. Clarke.
Mr. Clarke (who was a most worthy character) was to have been married on the evening of his last and mortal day, to the unhappy lady who was innocently the ultimate cause of this horrible tragedy.
NEW-YORK, November 17.
The hon. houses of legislature propose rising on Saturday next.
The claim laid by the state of Massachusetts is of the greatest consequence to this state; claim is laid to the sovereignty of such a considerable portion of what is at present considered as forming a part of the state of New York, that if Massachusetts should unfortunately prove successful, little more would belong to this state than a barren name: However, little if any fear ought to be entertained of our success when the characters of the agents that have been appointed are considered: The chancellor stands at the head, who may be considered as a tower of strength, uniting in himself the sweetness and pregnant energy of Tully, with the more sonorous and eloquent thunder of Demosthenes; his colleagues too are men of the first abilities, they will form a powerful phalanx, too firm to be easily shaken.
A few days ago a gentleman, on his way in the stage, from Frederickburg to Richmond, was robbed of a sum of money, amounting to upwards of four thousand dollars.
The powers of Europe, which are usually siled the natural enemies of Great Britain, were never more heartily preparing to prosecute a future war than at present. The French and Spaniards are building ships of the line with as much expedition as possible, and the Dutch, by mutual agreement with France, are come into the same measure. The States General have now 26 ships of the line, and if nothing happens to interrupt them, they will have at least 20 sail more fit for service in seven years, including those which are now on the stocks, in the several dock yards of the republic.
The Dutch are in a very critical situation: The Emperor calls them to a strict reckoning for their encroachments on his territories, and demands, moreover, the payment of arrears due on various accounts. The King of Prussia loudly insists on their establishing the Prince of Orange in all his rights and hereditary claims, and seems to threaten them with his displeasure, if they longer refuse to attend to his remonstrances.
Let us now take a view of the conduct of the States on this occasion. Surrounded by the dominions of the Emperor and the King of Prussia, and contiguous to those of France, they have, by a treaty with his Most Christian Majesty, in a manner guaranteed their country, and endeavored to secure themselves against all unfavorable contingencies.
From a firm dependence and confidence in the friendship of France, they have ventured to treat the Prince of Orange with coolness, and have put to defiance his partizans. They have besides publicly suspended the Duke of Brunswick from his office of General of their forces, and absolutely ordered him to leave their territories.
BLANKS of most sorts may be had at the Printing-Office, Portsmouth.

MAESTRICHT, September 3.
The Count de Welderen, commandant of this fortress, received yesterday a courier from the Prince Stadholder. It is said his dispatches contain orders for the troops of the Republic to hold themselves in readiness to march.
BERLIN, [Prussia] Sept. 19.
Mr. Brush, an American merchant of distinction, has been for some time in this city. It is said he came hither at the request of his Majesty, in consequence of a plan of commerce this gentleman has suggested to him, between this country and the United States of America. Mr. Brush, has frequent audiences with Ministers of State, the result of which is unknown; but it is conjectured his Majesty means to open a trade directly to America, which will be productive of infinite advantages to the Silesian merchants, as the Americans will come directly hither for their supply of linens, from that country, by which means we shall be supplied with tobacco and rice from the first hands.
LONDON, September 24.
Extract of a letter from Elsinour, September 4.
"The Dutch Consul at this place has received instructions from Amsterdam to stop all Dutch vessels bound from the Baltic to Holland 'till further orders, owing to a report of a number of Ostend privateers being fitted out to intercept them."
The States General have dispatched a Courier to the Court of France, with the accession of six of the United Provinces to the plan of the treaty of alliance between the Republic and the King. The province of Overijssel alone could not concur in it, its assemblies being at present interrupted.
The Dutch navy at this time, including 15 ships now building on the stocks, consist of 54 sail of the line, besides several stout frigates. In the year 1780, at the breaking out of the rupture, the Dutch had only 15 ships of the line in all quarters of the globe.
An old Greek mill for making oil, has been discovered in the ruins of Stabbia; a figure and description of it have been published at Naples, and the Romans have already erected several.
A letter from Flushing says, that the states of Zealand have sent two agents to Genoa, to hire some ship carpenters, that the work in the dock yards may be carried on in a more expeditious manner, as those they had from France are ordered home, many hands being wanted at Brest and Toulon.
October 11. David Hartley, Esq; arrived on Thursday at his house in Golden Square, from Paris, where he has been for some time as the Commissioner on the part of the British Court to negotiate a commercial intercourse with America. It has not transpired what progress he has made in the treaty, or whether any treaty at all is likely to take place. He is now confined with the gout.
October 19. French Politics have at length succeeded, and inveigled the Dutch into a contest with the Emperor, where it is most likely, they will be left by their Gallic friends to get out again as well as they can.
The Emperor having publickly declared that he should consider an opposition to a ship with his colours passing the Scheldt, as a declaration of war, and the Dutch having gone so far as to fire at one of his vessels for making the attempt, there can be little hopes of matters being now accommodated without bloodshed, and we may expect the next mail will bring over accounts of hostilities having been reciprocal between them.
Extract of a letter dated Eastern Scheldt, Oct. 8.
"This morning, at seven o'clock, M. Le Lt. Verdooren, who belongs to the schooner Le Dauphin, lying at anchor behind Stockgate, in the view of Lillo, received orders from Lt. Cuperns, commander of the schooner, to go and reconnoitre a brig under Imperial colors, which was sailing down the Scheldt: on this, Lt. Verdooren demanded of the commander of the Austrian ship where he was going? To which he answered, "He was going down the Scheldt for the sea."—The Lt. entreated him,
in a friendly manner, desiring him to be on his guard, as his orders were not to allow any Imperial ship to pass the Scheldt, and advised him to cast anchor. The Austrian Captain replied, "That his Imperial Majesty had declared the Scheldt to be open, and that he had orders to continue his route without minding what he might do." Lt. Verdooren continued his friendly entreaties, in the name of his commander, adding that if he refused, very disagreeable consequences would ensue, for which he must be answerable;—the Lt. Verdooren made signals for his boat, and rowed towards Le Dauphin. On which Lt. Cuperns fired a gun with powder, and requested the brig to approach; but the Capt. of the brig, holding a paper in his hand, cried out, that what he did was by order of his Imperial Majesty.—M. Cuperns, after having again and again entreated him to come to anchor, for that he could not permit him to pass the Scheldt for sea, while the Capt. still persisted in his design, when the schooner fired a broadside, on which the brig came to anchor. The damage the brig received is but trifling."
Extract of a letter from Ostend, October 14.
"News is brought here by express, that the dispute between the Emperor and the United States of Holland, is at last come to an open rupture: it is further added, that the Dutch have actually taken possession of Sluys, in Flanders, and of a small Imperial fort in its neighbourhood."
The water bearers at Paris, a very hardy and laborious set of people, and so numerous, that they muster to the rate of near 40,000, are by suitable encouragements to be invited into the marine service of France.
Extract of a letter from Flushing, Sept. 20.
"We just now learn that the Dutch packet which passed up to Antwerp is stopped by order of the Court of Brussels; and that an order has been given, that no vessels in future should be employed in that conveyance but such as bear the Imperial flag."
Dutch obstinacy was never more conspicuous than at the present day. They have declared war against the Emperor before they have secured an ally, and in fact when they have domestic distress enough to threaten the very existence of their constitution.
BOSTON, November 29
Last Thursday night began the most violent storm of rain we have had for twenty years past and continued till near eleven o'clock the next day. The wind being at south east drove in the tide so as to overflow all the wharfs, and carried away great quantities of wood and lumber. Two persons were taken out of a house on the North Battery about ten minutes before it fell, the greatest part of which was carried off by the tide. The Drawbridge, in Fore Street, was raised to a considerable height, and almost every cellar in and about said street was filled with water. The tide overflowed Market-Square; and was more than a foot deep over Long Wharf, where a great deal of damage was sustained in the loss of sugars, molasses, salt, naval stores, and lumber. A brig lying at the Long wharf overset, and a ship, breaking her fast, drove into Hallowell's ship yard and bilged.—We fear we shall hear of vessels being cast away, and lives lost.
NEWBURY PORT, December 1.
The storm, last Friday morning, raised the tide higher than ever was known in this town before, whereby many people here have suffered much loss, as the water entered their stores and destroyed considerable quantities of Sugar and Salt, besides clearing most of the wharves of the Boards, Shingles, and other Lumber, &c. which were thereon.
THE Subscribers give Notice, that the Partnership of PARKER, and Company, is now dissolved.

PORTSMOUTH, December 3.
Considerable damage was sustained in this town, on Friday last, by a violent storm of rain, which began the preceding night and continued 'till eleven the next day. The wind being at S. E. forced in the tide from the sea, which in addition to the great freshet, swelled the river higher than has been known for above forty years; it did considerable damage to the wharves and warehouses, particularly the former, which were most of them stripped of their contents of lumber, &c.—a large warehouse of Col. Boyd's, launched from his wharf, and floated to the opposite shore—considerable damage was done to the bridges, &c. in the country, some of which were swept away, and others rendered impassable.—The town of Salem, we hear, was in similar circumstances.
We hear that much damage has been done at the eastward by the above storm.
Sunday last arrived at Boston, the ship Ceres, Capt. St. Barb, in 35 days from London.
Yesterday was observed as a day of public Thanksgiving throughout this State.

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, and 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.

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.

Cornick, from L'Orient, by whom we have received the royal Paris Gazettes to the 21st of September; they contain nothing new or interesting, except a confirmation of an approaching rupture between the Emperor of Germany and the Dutch, which now appears inevitable; the Emperor is indefatigable in reviewing his troops in person through his wide extended domains, and making every preparation for bringing his numerous hosts in the field.
