Account of the Feast given by the Emperor of China, Kienlong, to the Ancients of his Kingdom, on the 14th of February 1785, extracted from the Memoirs of the French Missionaries.
THIS Imperial Feast, which Kienlong gave to the Ancients, is one of those events which will make an epoch in the empire. Kiang-hi, his uncle, set the example, who, mounting the throne very young, celebrated the 60th year of his reign in 1722. Kienlong celebrated the 50th year of his reign, an 85th of his age, on this day. At the end of 1784, he solemnly announced his intentions, and made a number of promotions among the Mandarins, professors of the arts, belles lettres, and military. He likewise exempted all the people from taxes that year, and repealed forever those which bore hard on them. He ordered distributions of rice, and pieces of silk or stuff, to be given to every poor person throughout the empire, who had attained the age of 60 years. Those who were 100, had 50 bushels of rice, and two pieces of silk, one of the first, the other of the second quality. Those who had attained 90 years, received 3 bushels of rice, and two pieces of silk of an inferior quality; those who were less than 60, and exceeding 50, had five bushels of rice, and one piece of silk, and every other person, rice and silk proportionate to their ages, reckoning by ten years.
But the grand day of the solemnity was at Peking, on the 14th of February 1785. Three thousand aged men of quality (which number, Mr. Amiot, who relates this history, saw at the palace, and who were invited by the Emperor), being assembled, the Emperor, who chose to do the honors of the table, took his place at the head; the only distinction being, his throne was elevated about a foot higher than the other seats, solely, as he declared, for the purpose of seeing every thing was right, as the tables were served in all parts equal, where the guests were distributed four and four. At other were the Princes of the Blood, the Nobility, and the Mandarins. And at a circular table, sat the Emperor's family, to see that nothing was wanting by those ancient guests, and to exhort them to partake of the repast with satisfaction, which their good master had invited them to. A numerous band of music played during the time, which was followed by a ballet, represented by the comedians of the Court; and at the end, the vocal performers chanted a hymn in honor of Tian, to return thanks for this particular day. The Emperor then retired, and his Ministers distributed to each of the company a present, with a wish written thereon by the Emperor. "That each might enjoy a long life, and what they wished;" also a piece in verse, which he composed for the occasion, and which was nearly as follows: The title of the piece is "To the Venerable Ancients invited to the Solemn Feast, to rejoice with me, in memory of what was done before, by my august uncle."
The blessings which I have received from heaven, are without number; it is impossible for me to reckon them: But I cannot avoid expressing the peculiar happiness I feel in having renewed this day, which has caused the most pleasing emotion in my heart, and which I shall ever call in pleasure to my memory, as having seen my Princes and my People take their place by the side of their Master, serving, and to be served, equally upon the same footing, without any distinction of rank, being equally happy as an assembly of friends, with the same motives of joy and gladness. This is the second time, by the special favor of God, that I have enjoyed the same sight, with the same feeling of heart. Our descendants will, no doubt, be penetrated with sentiments of the most tender veneration, when they read in history, that two Emperors of my august race have celebrated, the one his sixtieth, and the other his fiftieth year of their reign; rejoicing, as in a family repast, with the whole empire, represented by the Chosen of its aged people.
The Emperor was likewise pleased to put a stop to the persecution of the Missionaries; and issued a decree, wherein he expresses a desire, that they may proceed peaceably, and without molestation, in their zealous endeavors to excite religion in the tribe of Levi.
L O N D O N, July 3. Tuesday morning an express came to the Public Office in Bow-Street, from Newcastle upon Tyne, informing Sir Sampson Wright, that the noted Barrington was in custody in that town. He was apprehended attempting to pick pockets; said he was a dentist; and that he was born in North-Wales. During his stay in that town, which has been but a short time, he has gone by two different names. He stands indicted for robbing P. Le Meurier, Esq. some time since at Drury-lane Theatre, and is also outlawed.
Some officers belonging to Bow-Street are dispatched in order to bring him to town.
An account is also received, that Brodie, some time since advertised for robbing the Edinburgh Bank, is secured in the Stadthoude at Amsterdam, and proper persons are dispatched to bring him over in order for trial.
The same day the felons ended, when 11 convicts received judgment of death, 53 were ordered to be transported, five to be kept to hard labor in the house of correction, five to be whipped, and discharged, and 26 discharged by proclamation.
A new farce was, at Hay-Market Theatre, performed, the production of Mr. O'Keeffe, entitled, The Prisoner at Large . This performance abounds with that humor which characterises the music of O'Keeffe. It is not possible to reconcile the business with probability—it is not possible for the understanding to approve, but it is impossible for our faculties to resist the provocation to laughter. It is more highly charged with this species of humor, than any of his later productions.
To attempt to delineate a plot, which boldly violates all the laws of critical regularity and natural probability, would be idle. The idea on which it is founded, namely, that a nobleman, who has ruined himself by gaming, and is imprisoned in Paris, is permitted by his gaoler to visit his paternal estate near the Lake of Killarney in Ireland, and favored during his peregrination there with his company, is highly improbable: yet notwithstanding this glaring defect, and notwithstanding the author has in his present farce, as in all his former pieces, pushed his humour into absurdity. The Prisoner at Large is the most laughable nonsense that we ever witnessed, and abounds with situations which are too ludicrous not to excite universal ribbity.
A U G U S T A, July 26. On Tuesday last a Coroner's Inquest sat on the body of Benjamin Townsend, of this place, who died the preceding day of the wounds he had received in the morning, by a shot from a gun fired by Abimelech Hawkins, Constable, also of this town, and gave the following verdict: "That he received his death wound by a gun fired at him by Abimelech Hawkins."
The circumstance relative to, and which preceded this fatal affair we will endeavor to relate:
Hawkins at his own house, and made some enquiries with respect to the levying of an execution which he had put into his hands; Hawkins's answer implied he had not levied it, but that he intended to wait a few days with the person against whom it had been issued, and who had promised to make payment in that short time;—upon which the said deceased beat and wounded the survivor with a stick, who in his turn seizing a pistol snapped it at the assailant, who then retreated, whilst the other having gone to the window, leaped at him from thence. A second time the deceased then made known his intentions (in a very positive and wrathful manner) of returning perfectly provided to take revenge, and went off; meanwhile Hawkins arms himself with a musket, took the precaution to fire her off, and charge her anew himself, which he did at Mr. Cotton's. The other not failing to keep his promise, comes armed with a musket to Hawkins's house, while the neighbors, in order to dissuade him from his purpose, inform him that the other had gone off—Hawkins, after having conducted himself as already mentioned, was returning to his house, when he perceived the deceased; he immediately called to Mr. Charles Simmons to keep him off, alleging a great disparity between their weapons, he supposing his antagonist to have a rifle; the deceased advancing rapidly, was then interrogated by Hawkins if he was for it, the reply was in the affirmative, and Hawkins's rejoinder was from his musket; the deceased fell, having received several back shot in his groin, was carried home, where he lived a few hours in extreme agony, and expired.
P O R T S M O U T H, August 26.
On Sunday afternoon last, between the hours of three and four, a shock was felt in this town, in some measure resembling that of an earthquake. The cause we have not been able exactly to ascertain, but may venture to hazard the conjecture, that it was occasioned by some concussion or explosion in the air. The horizon at the time was uncommonly serene, nor could a cloud be discovered.
B O S T O N, August 28.
In the gale of wind on Tuesday last week, the Sloop of war, belonging to the Marquis de Saineville's squadron, was dismasted, and was towed into the Road, on Sunday last.
The French squadron, we are told, brought in the Captain and crew of an American vessel, which was shipwrecked near Cape Francois. They were put on wages, on board the squadron, and assisted in piloting the fleet to our coast.
Tuesday the Hon. Supreme Judicial Court, commenced session in this town.—At one o'clock, the Court assembled in the Senate Chamber, and from thence went, in procession, to the Court-house, where the ceremonies usual at the opening of the Court being gone through, the Hon. Judge Sargeant, gave an elegant and comprehensive charge to the Grand Jury—after which the Rev. Mr. Egle, addressed the throne of grace in prayer—and the Court adjourned.
We have had the wind for eight days past, at N. N. W. and W. which has obliged the French squadron, to continue in the bay ever since their arrival.
M. De Saineville, commander of the French squadron in our bay, commanded the frigate La Nymphe in 1778—it was this gentleman who brought to America, the Treaty of Amity, between France and the United States, which had been signed at Versailles.
N E W P O R T, August 28.
In a lot in this town, a chance grain of barley produced 117 stalks, which bore 86 heads that contained 2160 fair grains.
P R O V I D E N C E, August 28.
We hear the town of North-Providence have given their deputies instructions to vote in General Assembly for a Convention to be chosen in this State, to adopt the Federal Constitution.
N E W - Y O R K, Sept. 9.
Sunday last arrived the Schooner William , M'Donald, from Halifax in 15 days; and Sloop Friendship , Burnham, Savannah, 11 days. And yesterday arrived the brig Endeavor , Rammond, St. Mary's, 20 days.
Extract of a letter from the Reverend Dr. Price, of London, to the Reverend President Stiles, of Yale College in New-Haven.
"Hackney, June 16, 1788. "There was lately read to our Royal Society, a paper of Dr. Herschel's, in which he gives an account of the elements of the new planet and its two satellites. These satellites revolve, one of them in about nine, and the other in about thirteen and an half days. The planet moves at about double the distance of Saturn. The quantity of matter is seventeen times greater than the quantity of matter in the earth, its magnitude, about eighty times greater, its density about four times less, and the power of gravity on its surface makes a heavy body fall 18 feet in a second. The grand reflecting telescope by which Dr. Herschel hopes to make many more discoveries in the Heavens, is not yet finished: It is forty feet long, and its diameter such that it is easy to walk through it."
"With great regard, I am, dear Sir, yours, RICHARD PRICE."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Lee, in the state of Massachusetts, dated August 19th, 1788.
"This day we had the misfortune to be visited with a most violent hurricane. During the forenoon the wind blowing from the South, was accompanied with rain. No remarkable appearance, however, was observable, neither was the storm uncommonly tempestuous until about 1 o'clock afternoon. From that time till about four, there was a steady wind, so violent, that it tore up many trees by the roots. Then as we were hoping that the storm would soon abate, and that nothing worse would ensue, we were suddenly alarmed with an uncommon noise in the west, like the roaring of thunder. The clouds were in a most frightful commotion, and the prospect indeed so tremendous, that we could hardly flatter ourselves with any thing better than that we should soon be involved together in one general destruction. The wind then shifted to the west, and in a few minutes we saw roofs torn from buildings, the fences blown away, the best of our timber broken down, and scattered with the wind, our corn levelled to the ground, and other fruits destroyed. The hurricane lasted about a quarter of an hour. Four cows and several swine were killed, but no person hurt that we have yet heard of. We have been informed that the storm was no less violent at Lenox than it was here."
Singularity in the City of Berlin.—Berlin, at the first entrance of a stranger, must strike him with wonder, as it is one of the finest cities in Europe. The architecture, the distribution of the buildings, the appearance of the squares, the plantations of trees both in them and the streets; in short, everything bespeaks taste and variety. But when the stranger takes a near or rather an interior view, and stands gazing at the beauty of a building in the Ionic style, he is suddenly surprised to see
lets to day; before his first surprise is over, a breeches-maker treats him with a pair of those breeches from another story of the next building, which from a third comes out a dish of potatoe parings upon his head. A few paces farther produces a palace of the Corinthian order, but before your eyes have reached the attic story a Jew looms out at a first-floor window, salutes you, and asks, whether you have any thing to swap? A little higher may be seen an officer's ragged shirt hanging out to dry, while he is shaving himself. But there is no town in Europe where so numerous a garrison is seen, except at Constantinople; it consists of 25,000 men; and for a little money a man may have every thing done for him by a soldier. They clean shoes, wash, mend, pump, and do all that is performed elsewhere by Savoyards and old women. And though so much is laid of the severity and discipline of the King, there is no city in Europe where they talk more openly and freely of the King's ommissions and commissions than they do daily in Berlin.
From the BOSTON GAZETTE.
The Perpetrators of a MURDER discovered and punished.
A gentleman lately from the West Indies has favored the publishers hereof with the following translation from the Martinique Gazette of July 17, 1788.
CRIMES seldom go unpunished.—The vigilant hand of providence ever guards the blood of the innocent, by leading to the detection of criminality: Though the midnight assassin thinks to secure himself by the darkness, yet the hand of justice shall bring to light him, and his nefarious actions; nor shall he finally escape even that punishment which human laws hath enacted for the suppression of such atrocious crimes.—As a proof of this, we present to our readers the following narrative, and the melancholy, though just consequences, which ensued, last Saturday, at this place.
In 1786, Mr. Charles Archard, a merchant of this place, having been on business at Curraçoa, on his return home, from motives of humanity (on application) gave two French sailors their passage, as they appeared in distress; soon after they had been at sea, these monsters and one of the sailors on board, formed the horrid design of assassinating the master, mate, and such of the crew as would not join them, for the sake of the money they knew was on board.—To this end, they made the proposal to the others on board, another sailor readily joined them, two others, a sailor and a mulatto, awed by their menaces, became tacit accomplices in their guilt, and afterwards shared in their spoils.—Every obstacle being removed to the completion of this diabolical plan, that night they murdered the Captain, Mr. Archard, the mate an Englishman whose name is unknown, a free Mulatto of Curraçoa, and another of this island.—After the completion of this dreadful murder, proceeded down the Spanish coast and arrived at Marguerite, they shared the money being two Thousand Dollars, sunk the vessel and went to Marguerite in the boat:—here the three chief ringleaders separated from the rest:—but the mulatto who was not concerned only with a view to save his life; making information to the Spanish government they were arrested in their cover, and all the money recovered except about 300 dollars.
Mons. Le Count Damas, the Intendant of this island; animated with a desire of contributing as much as in him lay to the safety of navigation, by making a due example of such unparalleled villainy, as soon as he was informed of it, sent an armed vessel to Marguerite to demand and conduct them hither; when, having been tried and convicted, they were sentenced, three to be broke alive on the wheel, the ringleader previously having his right hand cut off; a fourth to be hung—and the fifth, as it appeared he was only led into the villainy from fear, to be branded, and sent to the galleys for life.—The execution was ordered to be done on the sea-side, in face of the whole shipping, and to be attended with all the parade that could enforce awe or imprint dread at the committing, or the punishment annexed to such a crime.
On Saturday afternoon, July 12, 1788, about 3 o'clock, the prisoners were taken from the gaol, and conducted to the church, each having a friar to attend him; when they arrived at the gate of the church, a block was placed there ready, on which the head villain laid his right hand, and had it severed off at a blow; he was then placed in a hammock, and after the ceremony at the church was over, they proceeded slowly to the place of execution, attended by the Judge, the King's Attorney, Secretary, and other officers of justice, and guarded by a detachment of cavalry and infantry.—Each prisoner had a large label on his breast, on which was wrote, "For premeditated ASSASSINATION on the sea."
Having arrived at the place of execution, the one designed to be hung was directly launched into eternity.—The ringleader was the first who was broke; he received eight blows with an iron bar of about 22 lb. on his legs, thighs, arms and wrists, and one on his stomach; he was then taken from the block and laid on a wheel in the most uneasy posture possible, and left to expire; he lay in excruciating torments nearly six hours before he expired. The second received the same fate, except an addition of another blow on the stomach, and lay on the wheel in horrid convulsions for near three hours before he expired.—The third received a third blow on the stomach, which put an end to his existence soon.—Though the agonies which the two first suffered, after having their joints broke, while expiring on the wheel, is past description, and excited the deepest compassion in every breast; yet it must be acknowledged, such examples are necessary to deter the wicked.—Justice from a regard to the safety of mankind, is obliged to make such horrid examples to secure the honest man from these pests to society.—While the wicked and abandoned at such times shrink back with horror and fear, the mind conscious of its own rectitude, can look on to himself without dismay, and though it drop the tear of pity at the sufferings which the wretch experiences, yet it is mingled with just indignation at the crime which obliges the horrid sacrifice to be made to an injured community.
We hope this dreadful example will have a due effect upon all; in a particular manner we hope it will make a proper impression on the mind of fearfaring men, guarding them against the commission of such horrid crimes as brought these unfortunate men, though justly, to a painful and an ignominious death; and if (as they are frequently exposed) they should at any time be at sea with men of bad hearts and desperate minds, let them guard against being contaminated by them. For of this truth they may be certain—that the wicked ever betray their accomplices, to escape that punishment which would otherwise fall on themselves."

JONATHAN LAWRENCE, Esquire, President for the evening.
THE Committee of Visitation reporting, that from the great number of Persons relieved, the Funds of the Society were totally exhausted. That there were several Distressed Debtors in Prison, who had no other Substistance, but what was derived from this Body; and that without such aid, they must want the common necessaries of life. And the said Committee farther reporting that it would be necessary for the Society, to procure a quantity of Fire-Wood for the benefit of the Prisoners the ensuing Winter; and that, were the means in the power of the Society, the same might be purchased at present, at a very low rate:—Whereupon, on motion, It is unanimously voted, that the Clergy in this City, be earnestly requested, to preach Charity Sermons in their respective Churches, for promoting the important and benevolent purposes of the Society. And that Dr. RODGERS, Mr. LIAM, Mr. BEACH, and Dr. Kunze be a Committee for making the necessary arrangements to carry the same into effect.

THE Society for promoting the Manumission of Slaves, and protecting such of them as have been or may be liberated, having solicited charitable donations from the people in this city, for the purpose of establishing a school for the instruction of negro children; think it duty they owe the public, to give some account of their proceedings in this important business.
The Society having agreed upon a number of rules and regulations for the government of the school, appointed twelve of their number Trustees , whose business it should be to engage a master, and visit the school every month, to examine the progress the scholars made in learning, and see that the regulations for the school were duly attended to.
The Trustees procured a master, and the school was opened on the first of November last, with a small number of scholars, it has been gradually encreasing from that time, and it now consists of forty-two scholars; several have been dismissed the school, and some bound apprentices to learn useful trades.
The Trustees have visited the school regularly every month, and have found from time to time, that the scholars have made uncommon progress in learning.
Tho' the school was instituted principally for the benefit of the children of free negroes, the Society, at their last meeting, desirous of extending the benefit of it to others, authorized the Trustees to admit those that were slaves, upon condition of their masters paying 10s. per quarter. This stipulation was deemed necessary, as the funds of the Society at present, are not sufficient to maintain the school. Those children, who their masters design to liberate at a future age, are to be admitted without expence.
The Trustees esteem themselves happy in having obtained Mr. Davis for an instructor, as he appears uncommonly well qualified for the arduous undertaking. It may be proper to mention, that by one rule of the Society, it is necessary that two of the Trustees should visit the children, and sign a paper for their admission to the school.
The present Trustees, are Matthew Clarkson , John Bleecker , Thomas Burling , Jacob Seaman , White Matlack , James Cogswell , Willet Seaman , Nathaniel Lawrence , William Cochran , William Backhouse , Richard Lawrence , John Murray , jun. New-York, August 15.
