L O N D O N, October 6.
The following is an exact and just account of the proceedings of the present belligerent powers, as can be collected from their gazettes and other information.
Russia—engaged in a war with the Turks, with a view to extirpate them from Europe, and the Crimea entire to her dominions, and display, if possible, the Black Eagle on the turrets of Constantinople.
Germany—engaged in the same cause, but without the same original pretences for making war.
Sweden—taking advantage of the war in which Russia is involved, aspiring to recover the whole of Finland, but wanting the means, and deserted by her officers.
The Ottoman power, supported secretly by every other power in Europe, except the declared enemies. Russia and Germany, contending with these two upon the Turkish territories, and provided with every advantage which a knowledge of the country, and resources of men and arms, unknown to any other nation, can give.
As to the progress of this war, the Turks have not lost an inch of ground; the Imperial armies have expended an immense treasure, have lost many thousands of their troops by disease, and have gained—a little reputation.
PHILADELPHIA, September 27.
One evening last week a gentleman was stopped in Third near Spruce-street, by two fellows, who demanded his money. On desiring them to go with him to the next lamp, he took an opportunity of seizing one of them by the collar, upon which the other attempted to make off, but was taken by some of the neighbours, who assembled upon the gentleman calling for assistance. The rogues were secured and conveyed to jail, where they may at leisure repent the unfortunate issue of their nefarious enterprize.
WILMINGTON, Nov. 22.
Messrs. CRAIG & Co.
In your paper of the 1st inst. I see an account from Poughkeepsie of an uncommonly large meteor, that appeared almost in the zenith; I saw the same meteor in Sussex county, due west from Cape-Henlopen. It appeared to me ten degrees above the horizon. The curious may, by taking the latitude of the Cape and of Poughkeepsie, allowing the height of the meteor in each latitude, nearly ascertain the distance of the meteor from the earth. This done with precision, would be very agreeable to one of your constant readers in Sussex county.
WINCHESTER, (Virginia) Nov. 12.
By a person who passed through this town on Saturday last, from Kentucky, we are informed, that he, with some others, coming down the Ohio, discovered something on the banks, which they supposed to be flour; on going on shore, it proved to be heaps of feathers, and appeared to have been emptied from beds; upon further search, to their great surprise they found at a little distance three fresh scalps, a ploughshare, &c. It being evident that the savages had lately perpetrated a murder on some unfortunate persons going down the river, and our informant, with his companions, not being in a situation to stand a contest with the enemy, thought it most prudent to come off. No certain information could be obtained who the above devoted victims to savage barbarity were, but it was conjectured they belonged to a boat which had left Red-Stone about three weeks since, loaded with arms, &c. and was not afterwards heard of.

We last evening received a copy of the act of the state of New-Jersey, for carrying into effect the new constitution.—It will appear in our next.
We are also informed, that the honorable ABRAHAM CLARK, JONATHAN DAYTON, and JONATHAN ELLMER, Esquires, are chosen to represent the state of New Jersey in Congress, under the old constitution.
By a list of the names and cures of the patients in the Pennsylvania Hospital (in Philadelphia) it appears that there have been admitted into that house within the year, ending the 10th of the 4th month, 1788, 147 diseased persons, amongst whom were 64 lunatics, or such as are disordered in their understanding, and discharged as under:

Sketch of the Proceedings of the General Court of New-Hampshire.
The seat and house met at Concord, on Wednesday the fifth inst. and on Thursday following, his excellency president LANGDON opened the business of the session by the following speech to both houses.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
THE United States in Congress assembled, having by their ordinance of the 13th of September last, determined the time for choosing electors, as well as the time of their meeting, and the place for commencing proceedings under the federal government, which appearing of great importance to the citizens of this state, I have thought fit, by the unanimous advice of Council, to convene you at an earlier day than that to which you were adjourned, that you might have full opportunity for arranging the important business in such way as should be advantageous to the state.
I most sincerely wished to have avoided the great expense of calling a special session of the general court, but the way and manner of choosing the electors under the new government being left to the legislature of each state to determine, and the time from the adjournment of the general court to the meeting of the new Congress, not giving sufficient opportunity for the choice of representatives, made it necessary.
Gentlemen, I shall not point out any mode of proceeding in the choice of senators, electors or representatives under the new government, but you will permit me to observe, that it is of the greatest importance to this, as well as the other states, that these offices should be filled by gentlemen of abilities and integrity, who shall be well acquainted with the different objects which the national government may have in view; and who have the confidence of the people: for however the federal government may be well calculated to promote the happiness of the United States, yet it will require all the exertions of the most able and upright men, to form the first arrangements, as on these will greatly depend our future happiness and tranquility.
Gentlemen, As you are called together specially for the election of senators, and making the necessary arrangements for the choice of electors and representatives under the federal constitution, I suppose the session will be short, but should you determine to take up the business of the year in general, the public papers received during the recess of the court shall be laid before you; and I shall be happy in making any communications that may tend to the general welfare of the state.
JOHN LANGDON.
The house then requested a conference with the senate, on the necessary steps to be taken with respect to the constitution of the United States, which being agreed to, the senate came down at three o'clock, P. M. to the representative's chamber.
His excellency president Langdon then opened the debate, with some observations on the necessary business of the session, and on the manner of choosing electors, which he recommended to be done by the legislature.
General Sullivan favored the opinion, that the electors should be chosen by the people, and that the representatives of the United States should be chosen out of such districts as should be marked out by the legislature, &c.
After a great variety of observations being made by many of the members of senate and house, on the mode of choosing electors and representatives, the conference ended, and the senate withdrew.
The court having completed the business for which it was convened, a journal to Thursday the 24th day of December next, then to meet at Exeter, the place to which it stood adjourned previous to the late meeting.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. IN SENATE, Nov. 19, 1788.
RESOLVED, That the Commonwealth be divided into eight districts, for the purpose of choosing eight persons to represent the people thereof in the Congress of the United States—each district to choose one representative, who shall be an inhabitant of such district, and that the districts be as follows, viz.
The county of Suffolk be one district. The county of Middlesex one district. The counties of Hampshire and Berkshire one district. The counties of Plymouth and Barnstable one district. The counties of York, Cumberland and Lincoln one district. The counties of Bristol, Dukes County and Nantucket one district. The county of Worcester one district.
And be it further Resolved, That the Selectmen of the respective towns and districts, in the several districts before-mentioned, shall in manner as the law directs for calling town meetings, cause the inhabitants thereof, duly qualified to vote for representatives to the General Court of this Commonwealth, to assemble on Thursday the eighteenth day of December next, to give in their votes, for their respective representatives to the selectmen, who shall preside at such meeting: And the selectmen, or the major part of them, shall in open town meeting, sort and count the votes, and form a list of the persons voted for, with the number of votes for each person, against his name, and shall make a public declaration thereof in the said meeting, and shall in the presence of the inhabitants, seal up copies of the said list, and transmit the same to the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, on or before the first Monday of January next: And the clerk of each town and district, shall make and fairly transcribe, in the records thereof, the list aforesaid; and he secretary shall lay the same before his Excellency the Governor and the Council. And in case of an election for any district by a majority of all the votes returned, his Excellency the Governor is hereby requested forthwith to transmit to the person so chosen a certificate thereof. And in case no person shall have a majority of votes, the Governor is hereby requested, to cause precepts to issue, accompanied with a certificate of the names of the two persons who had the greatest number of votes in the first return, to the selectmen of the several towns and districts within the district for which no person shall have been chosen as aforesaid; to assemble the inhabitants of their respective towns and districts, qualified as aforesaid, on a day, in such precept to be appointed, to give in their votes for a representative, and the like proceeding shall be had thereon, as are herein before directed; and the selectmen shall make return thereof, in manner as aforesaid, to the secretary's office, on or before a day in such precept to be prescribed. And the secretary shall lay the same before the Governor and Council; and in case any person shall have a majority as aforesaid, the Governor is requested forthwith to transmit to the person so chosen, a certificate thereof: And in case no person shall have a majority of votes, the Governor is requested to issue like precepts as often as the case may require.
And be it further Resolved, That the inhabitants of the several towns and districts, qualified aforesaid, shall be assembled on the said eighteenth day of December next, they shall also give in their votes for two persons who shall be inhabitants of the district in which such town or district may be, as candidates for an elector of the president and vice-president of the United States, and a list of the votes so given in, as aforesaid, shall be by the selectmen of the several towns and districts, or the major part of them, transmitted to the secretary's office, on or before the first Monday in January next. And on the Wednesday next following, the general court, then in session, shall examine the said returns, and from the two who shall be found to have the greatest number of votes in each district, the members of the two houses assembled in one room, shall by joint ballot, elect one, who shall be the elector for the district to which he belongs; and in case it should so happen, that more than two persons voted for as electors, should have an equality of votes
two houses as aforesaid shall out of such number choose the elector.—And if in any case the aforesaid returns from a district shall not be received at the secretary's office on or before the first Monday in January next, the members of the two houses of the Legislature shall, on the first Wednesday of January next, appoint some person, being an inhabitant of such district, for an elector of president and vice-president.
And be it further Resolved, That the members of the two houses of the general court, shall in manner as aforesaid, appoint at least two electors for the president and vice-president, not voted for by the districts as aforesaid.
And be it further Resolved, That the said electors be, and they are hereby directed, to meet on the first Wednesday of February next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, at the state house in Boston, for the purpose of voting by ballot, for two persons, for president and vice-president of the United States, agreeably to the constitution of said United States: And that for their travel and attendance, they shall receive the same compensation as members of the senate are entitled to.

SIR, COL. UDNAY HAY having lost most of his vouchers in support of his charges against the state as state agent, in a fire which consumed his dwelling house in March, 1783—and the propriety and integrity of his transactions in that office being thereby rendered liable to suspicion: In justice to the public (who ought as far as possible to be acquainted with the conduct of all their servants) as well as to that gentleman, I request you to publish the following extract from a certificate given by the gentlemen appointed by the legislature to assist me in the settlement of Mr. Hay's accounts, the sentiments contained therein meeting my hearty concurrence.
PETER T. CURTENIUS, Mr. Childs. State Auditor.
We do farther certify, that during a long and most accurate investigation made by us at sundry times into Mr. Hay's accounts and conduct while in the service of the State, he gave unequivocal proofs of his candor and uprightness, by his ready answers to every question we asked relative to any part of his business, exhibited convincing evidences of his integrity, activity, and assiduity as an officer of the State, and fully proved to our satisfaction, that by an intermixture of zeal and prudence in the management of various matters committed to his charge by the legislature, the State has reaped very consequential advantages.

Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York.
For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of the till an accident happens, the bereaved propriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance. FIRST RATE.
THAT for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls car. area twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3 £, deposit, 12 £, total, 15 £.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other building, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4 £, deposit, 16 £, total, 20 £.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5 £, deposit, 17 £, total, 22 £.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other building, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6 £, deposit, 17 £, total, 23 £.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed houses and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7 £, deposit, 18 £, total, 25 £.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8 £, deposit, 17 £, total, 25 £.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10 £, deposit, 2 £, total, 12 £.
The expense therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:
Table showing Premium, Deposit, and Policy and badge costs for £500 insured.
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is £9 5 0.
Which shews the expense of insuring £500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing said sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or business following are carried on, viz. chymists, shipchandlers, tallow chandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or colormens, or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street. December 2, 1788.

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The Sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company. THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf. That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grubs and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as found and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

ELECTUARY For destroying Worms in children and grown Persons. THE Proprietor informs the Public that he has received a supply of the very best ingredients with which this Electary is compounded, and as complaints were made that the last, sold by the Apothecary was not good, the proprietor assures the Public it must have been owing to the principal article in the composition being too old, they now may be supplied with it as usual, at Mr. Wainwright's Store, warranted good by the proprietor. Experience, the best criterion to go by, evinces the Electary the best preparation yet discovered for the uses expressed in its title. The ready sale it has heretofore met with, is a proof of its success, and requires little further commendation, save that it so effectually kills the worms, that they are seldom or never brought away alive, but mostly jellied or like humors occasioned by colds.
