The 19th of March a Dutch ship arrived at Constantinople under Russian colours, from the island of Malta, having on board the Chevalier Pelaro, who was Russian Resident in that island. M. de Bulkakow, Envoy from the Empress, embarked on board the same ship with the Baron de Heubert, Internuncio from the Court of Vienna, for Cherson, in order to pay their duty to their respective Sovereigns, who are expected there this spring. A short time before their departure, Major Sergius, who had been charged with a private commission from the Russian Cabinet to the Porte, had taken the route to Kiow by land. It is thought that the commission of officers, who passed through Bucharest the 4th of April, was to notify in form to the Grand Signior, the journey of the Empress in Crimea; and that from the answer he carries, the further progress of that journey, and the turn that affairs will take with the Ottomans, will depend. It is said that this answer, of which Major Sergius is the bearer, breathes the most pacific sentiments. It is true that the Porte, in her last answers to the demands of Russia, has displayed more spirit than was expected; but it is certain also, that she does not seek a war, that the principal members of the Divan are fully persuaded, that a rupture with the Imperial Courts, or even with Russia alone, might draw on the ruin of the empire; that the orders for assembling a body of troops near Oczakow, have no other motive but to cover that place, without departing, however, from a defensive system; in short, that it is very probable, that every thing will remain quiet, if the Empress does not enter into the projects that may be presented to her from the Cabinet of Peterburgh, or rather from some nobleman, who has great influence, and is well known to have formed vast designs for the splendor of the Russian throne; but which may not be very agreeable to several of the powers of Europe.
Hague, May 13. General Van Ryssel is taken under the especial protection of the States of Holland and West Friesland.
The Prince of Orange has written to the States General, informing them, that at the requisition of the States of Utrecht, (that is to say, those of Amersfort) he has dispatched patents to the regiment of the Hereditary Prince, and to two squadrons of that of Thuyll, authorising them immediately to march into the above province, in opposition to the armed free corps. This letter is considered as an instant of prudent advice to the six Provinces which have not agreed to the suspension of the Captain General.
Utrecht, May 15. On the 13th instant, towards night, some hussars, of the legion of Salm surprised six or seven soldiers near Bilt, whom they tied to their horses with ropes, and brought them into this city in that situation. The next day a detachment of thirty of the same corps, joined by some chasseur, went out with a like intent, but just as they had passed the Bilt, they met twenty dragoons of the regiment of de Teyl, who had the picket ground; this inferior force retired, and were pursued by the hussars, and in the pursuit being reinforced, an engagement ensued, in which many were wounded on both sides. As soon as the news of this rencounter reached the city, about three hundred huzzars rode at full gallop to the place of action, which made it prudent for the dragoons to retreat, leaving behind them two of their comrades who were dangerously wounded, and two others whose intrepidity had carried them too far among the hussars to retire.
Leyden, May 21. Once more, when all hopes of conciliation seemed lost, a glimmering of hope appears, that the sum of the States of Holland has produced the desired effect, by bringing to a moderate conduct the enemies of our republican constitution. The 18th of this month, their noble and great Mightinesses received from the Council of States of the confederation a letter, proposing to them, conferences with the deputies of the States of Gueldres, and Amersfort, under the assurance, that nothing hostile shall be attempted against the City of Utrecht, and that all the troops of Gueldres, as well as those of Utrecht, sent recently into the province, shall depart. In consequence of this letter, the States of Holland resolved the same day, to hear the propositions they intend to make, on condition they shall be made within a limited time, and that the negotiation does not draw to any length.
Constantinople May 30. The Porte continues to make great preparations for war both by sea and land: to convince the Janissaries of her steady resolution to confirm by the force of arms the negative she has given to the Empress of Russia, they are ordered three months pay in advance. It is said that the land forces will amount to two hundred thousand men, and that the whole of that formidable body of troops are ordered to march to the confines of Silesia, there to be encamped.
H O U S E O F C O M M O N S, May 8. RELIEF OF SETTLERS IN EAST FLORIDA.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved, that a sum of about 13,000l. be granted towards the compensation of such of the settlers of East Florida as had suffered by the cession of that province to the Crown of Spain, and whose losses had been ascertained and determined by the Commissioners appointed for that purpose. This sum, he said, would be 40 per cent. on the whole sum, which would put those persons on a footing with the American loyalists.
Mr. Dempster was dissatisfied at the exclusion of the settlers of West Florida from the same indulgence as was to be extended to those of East Florida, who besides the misfortune of having had their country a scene of war—had also equally suffered with the other persons, by a similar cession at the conclusion of the Peace; and had
greater merit from the resistance they made when attacked, although that resistance are ineffectual in consequence of the superior force of the enemy.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer answered, that East Florida alone had been ceded to Spain at the Peace. West Florida had fallen into the hands of that power during the war by conquest, and was only confirmed to them at the Peace. He said that West Florida having been conquered, there could be no principle on which the inhabitants were intitled to compensation for their losses that would not equally apply to persons whose ships should have been captured by the enemy, or who should suffer in any other manner in consequence of a war.
Mr. Dempster thought the people of West Florida were hardly and unjustly treated.
FREE PORTS IN THE WEST INDIES. Mr. W. Grenville moved "that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House to take the Trade and Commerce of the country into consideration." The motion having been agreed to.
Mr. Grenville stated to the Committee, that the opening Free Ports in two of our West India Islands was a measure that had been adopted so long ago as the year 1766, and continued since under various Acts of Parliament. In 1766 four Free Ports had been opened in the island of Jamaica, and two in that of Dominica. During the war, the Bill authorising the two Free Ports in the island of Dominica had been suffered to expire, and the Bill authorising the four Free Ports in the island of Jamaica would expire next year. He meant, therefore, to bring in a Bill to authorise the continuance of four Free Ports in the island of Jamaica, and the opening a Free Port in the island of Dominica, and in several other West-India Islands. Mr. Grenville stated that experience had proved the opening of free Ports in Jamaica and Dominica to have been a wise measure, and a measure highly beneficial to Trade and Commerce, but at the same time it was intended to put the free Ports under certain regulations and restrictions, for the future, which it had been found to be necessary. He said a few words as to the particular Ports in the several Islands, that he had fixed upon, and then made a Motion for leave to bring in a Bill for the purpose.
Mr. Burke said he well remembered the nature and turn of the debate, when the measure had been originally proposed; at that time the late Mr. Alderman Beckford violently opposed, it, declaring, that the opening of free Ports would ruin our West India Trade completely, and be attended with infinite mischief, but the worthy Magistrate had at last dropped his opposition, with insisting that the Island of Jamaica should have its share of the mischief he had deprecated, and thence it was, that four free ports were opened in that island. Indeed, Mr. Burke said, in a short time there was scarcely an island in the West Indies that did not become a petitioner for being admitted a sharer in the said mischief, as it was pretty obvious that a free port would be highly advantageous to the island where such port was situated. He concluded with expressing his satisfaction that the measure was to be sustained, since he was convinced free Ports were a great encouragements to trade and commerce.
The resolution was agreed to, and as soon as the House was resumed, the Report was made, and a Bill ordered to be prepared and brought in.
M A J E S T Y 21. HIS MAJESTY'S MESSAGE.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in the following message, which was handed to the Chair and read by the Speaker with due solemnity.
"GEORGE REX. "It is with the greatest concern his Majesty acquaints the House of Commons, that from the Accounts which have been laid before his Majesty by the Prince of Wales, it appears that the Prince has incurred a debt, to a large amount, which if left to be discharged out of his annual income, would render it impossible for him to support an establishment suited to his rank and station.
"Painful as it is at all times to his Majesty, to propose an addition to the heavy expenses necessarily borne by his People, his Majesty is induced from his paternal affection to the Prince of Wales, to recur to the liberality and attachment of his faithful Commons for their assistance on an occasion so interesting to his Majesty's feelings, and to the ease and honour of so distinguished a branch of his Royal Family.
"His Majesty could not, however, expect or desire the assistance of this House, but on a well-grounded expectation that the Prince will avoid contracting any debts in future.
"With a view to this object, and from an anxious desire to remove any possible doubt of the sufficiency of the Prince's Income to support amply the dignity of his situation; his Majesty has directed a sum of 10,000l. per ann. to be paid out of his Civil List in addition to the allowance which his Majesty has hitherto given him; and his Majesty has the satisfaction to inform the House, that the Prince of Wales has given his Majesty the fullest assurance of his determination to confine his future expenses within the income, and has also settled a plan for arranging those expenses in the several departments, and for fixing an order for payment under such regulations as his Majesty trusts will effectually secure the due execution of the Prince's intentions.
"His Majesty will direct an estimate to be laid before this House, of the sum wanting to complete, in a proper manner, the work which has been undertaken at Carleton House, as soon as the same can be prepared with sufficient accuracy, and recommends it to his faithful Commons to consider of making some provisions for that purpose."
Mr. Alderman Nottinham rose, as soon as the Message had been read to its conclusion, and addressed the Chair in the following words:
"I confess, Sir, it is with considerable exultation that I find, that none of the predictions or prognostications, which, as an Hon. Gentleman observed, were chorussed all around me on a former occasion, have in the smallest degree been realized, I do not pretend to arrogate to myself, that any thing which I have done has promoted this happy event, but it is my boast, that nothing I have done has prevented it; amidst the general joy which glows in every breast that has thought upon the subject, I receive the most heartfelt satisfaction. I most sincerely rejoice, that the Prince of Wales, whom I admire and revere, will obtain relief in a mode, I am sure far the most satisfactory to him. I rejoice, that by this his Majesty will have his comfort and his glory secured and promoted; and I most sincerely hope, that no event may ever happen to interrupt their felicity, but that paternal love and protection on the one part, and filial gratitude, duty, and affection on the other, may flourish and increase for the rest of their lives."
Mr. Rolle said, he was extremely happy to find that the business was at last brought to that shape and form; that he would meet it fairly, but as he did not wish to anticipate the debate, he would merely say, that he was of opinion the list of the debts of his Royal Highness ought to be laid upon the table, that other gentlemen as well as himself, before they laid additional burthens upon their constituents, might know on what ground it was, that they were called upon to vote away the public money.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, an estimate of the Debts of his Royal Highness, which had been examined into, was making out, in order to its being laid upon the table.
The Message was, upon motion, ordered to be taken into consideration to-morrow.
L O N D O N, June 1—7.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales by a strict attention to the rules laid down by the faculty, gains strength every hour. The Prince has, during his illness, which was a very severe one indeed, borne himself with the fortitude of a Christian philosopher.
By letters from France we learn, that the Commercial Treaty is not much relished by the trading part of that nation. They say that the hardware of England is so superior to their own, that it will destroy their manufactures there; and they complain that 12 per cent. is too high for British blankets, woollens, &c. That their wine will become too dear for the commonality, and that their provisions of all kinds are already become much dearer: At Calais, for instance, beef is nine sols a pound, mutton twelve, pork fifteen, and every thing else in proportion.
Monday an express arrived at the East-India House from Bombay, via Grand Cairo; it is dated the 10th of January, at which time every thing was quiet on the Malabar coast, as far as the publick letter mentions—the despatches being chiefly in cypher.—A private letter which came by the same conveyance, mentions that a report prevailed there, that the Belgioioso, Imperial ship, had been taken by the Mahrattas.
The late Commodore Johnson was so anxious about the determination of his law suit with Capt. Sutton, that he sent Mrs. Johnson off by express to London from Bath, on the Monday before the decision, to attend to the business of it, and to send him an express the moment it was over. He received the intelligence of his success on the Wednesday morning, and died that evening.
Scotch Harry, ( Dundas ) no doubt, is to sell Hastings this summer, and Mr. Rolle , of Devonshire, furnishes a Jack Ass to carry these seasonable fruits of the earth to the Minister's table.
"Ah! sure a pair was never seen, So justly form'd to meet by nature."
The celebrity which Spa has been enjoying for many years, is about to acquire an additional lustre from the presence of their Highnesses the Duke and Duchess, of Orleans who have hired six of the finest hotels for their reception and numerous suite; it is imagined the approaching season will outdo, both in point of number and splendour of the visitors to this place, any season for many years. Apartments are taken for many persons of the first distinction from England and other countries, and from the former there are many families already arrived.
The vicinity of the Post-office was crowded last night to see the mail coaches set off, equipped in their birth-day finery, and the shew was very elegant indeed, though incomplete for want of some of the new uniforms not being ready. The horses, some all colours, and the sets well matched; the Dover Greys were the best dressed, but the Pool Brown's beat all the rest, ten to one; a more beautiful set of high mettled gallows was never put before a carriage of any description whatever.
There were upwards of two thousand five hundred persons at the Musical Festival in the Abbey on Saturday, who paid a guinea each for admission.
An insurrection has lately taken place among the peasantry of Norway, which has given no small uneasiness to the Court of Denmark:—The Chief of the revolting peasants is named Christian Lashunns, he is a coast pilot, and possesses all the necessary qualifications to guide the multitude. He pleaded the cause of the peasants before the Commissaries appointed by his Danish Majesty, with great boldness, and insisted on their rights with energy. They ordered him to be arrested; but he was so well guarded by the people, they could not do it.—However, after the Commissaries came away, a Captain Hammer found means to take him by surprise, and sent him prisoner to the citadel of Fredericks Worms, from
whence he is transferred to that of Christiana: On the first alarm of the imprisonment, some hundreds of the peasants seized the Under Bailiff, Dahl, and swore they would not deliver him up alive, unless their Chief was liberated. But Major General Bedrickson, Commandant of Christiana, hearing of this, claimed the said Dahl; and finding they persisted in detaining him, he ordered 80 of the regulars and 300 militia to march, with some pieces of artillery, towards Arndal, where they were obliged to fire; but on the first gun going off, and knocking down a tree, the populace ran off, and left their prisoner, who was carried to Christiana and to the troops.
A fermentation has likewise broke out in the district of Aggerhus, where the peasants are naturally unruly: It is said the Prince Royal of Denmark, when he returns from Holstein, will go in person to Norway, to fix an administration for the prevention of such acts in future.
Extract of a letter from Tangiers, April 12.
"We know not exactly the reason which obliged the Emperor to quit his camp at Fez suddenly, as he had invited the Swedish Ambassador to give him the meeting there. Some say, that he had understood that a report of his death had prevailed in the kingdom of Taflet, and the numerous Sheriffs, of that kingdom having raised the report, it became necessary to his Majesty to make his personal appearance. And others go so far as to affirm, that Muley Hassan, the Emperor's son, wished to possess himself of his father's treasure, and Muley Omas, the other son, oppressing him, they fought together, when the former was killed by a pistol bullet. But this circumstance is concealed from the Emperor, who is made to believe that his son died a natural death.
"Mr. de Chevalier de Christmin, the Swedish Ambassador, who brought the annual presents, was ordered to repair to Taflet, with all possible speed. In passing through Fez, he was received with every possible mark of distinction; several thousand inhabitants of that place, went out in procession to meet him by order of the Emperor. He lodged for five days with the Basha. The Moors of Fez have such a rooted aversion to all Christians, that the soldiers, with some difficulty, prevented their throwing stones at the Ambassador and his suite, which is their usual way of treating Christians. Mr. de Christmin, is now at Salce, waiting till the Emperor is pleased to appoint him to an audience."
Extract of a letter from Dunkirk, May 29.
"In the course of the last week, upwards of 7000 tons of spirits have been brought here, and lodge in the different stores of this city, ready to be shipped; but as the smuggling of this article is now nearly at an end, an officer of the Police, on account of the additional tariff, attends to see this article exported. We have also several hundred tons of tobacco here, but this is a contraband article with you, and may be bought almost at any price, on account of the difficulty in running it over. The very best Virginia is here little more than 8d farthing English per lb."
Extract of a letter from Bombay, dated Jan. 29. received via Bassora.
"The latest accounts from Bengal make the ready money orders on the Treasury then in circulation amount to 190 lack of rupees, and certificates for about 30 lack more (army contingencies) are since gone from hence.—This is independent of the old debt.—On both these debts, and the old debt at this Presidency, amounting to 160 lack, the Company are paying on interest of 8 and 9 per cent. when the whole debt might have been reduced to 4 or 5 per cent. and the Company offered a fair and just exchange to their creditors. The government of Bengal will be obliged to let out some of the Company's ships for the season for want of investments, which might have been returned to Europe with full cargoes, had their bonded debt in this country been transferred to England.
"The Rockingham must go from hence short of her tonnage."
Extract of a letter from Belfast, May 25.
"The La Jeane Marie, —, from Nantz, arrived here, the 20th which is the first French vessel here since the Treaty; her cargo being promiscuous; without any regular confinement, was all landed, and put under the King's lock, but sold directly. This vessel, in return, takes our linen manufacture, without a single guinea in specie or any paper passing. If all the vessels of that nation act a similar part in future, this Treaty will be very beneficial to Ireland."
Extract of a letter from Utrecht, May 16.
"Notwithstanding all the promises of the sending any more troops into the Province, we yesterday received accounts that the battalions of Van Efferen and Monster were upon a march this way, upon which the Council was summoned, when they were formally made acquainted that quarters had been ordered for four companies of the regiment of Van Efferen, two of which were to be quartered at Jurphans, one at Meerem, and one at Harmelen, and other places, in such a manner as to cut off all communications between this city and Holland. The Council gave, it as their opinion, that no troops ought to be quartered upon the district of this city without the permission of the Council; and as they received it was the possession of the Sluy (by which all Holland could be laid under water) which was aimed at, they determined to send a corps of volunteers to the spot; upon which one thousand immediately offered their services, but it was determined to send only a corps of 250 men, and 50 riflemen, with three pieces of cannon, under command of M. D'Averhoul, with orders to desire the Commander of the troops to quit the territory of this city, or in case of refusal, to repel force by force. Accordingly, being arrived

at the place, M. D'Averhoul sent an officer for the al-mentioned purpose, who received a very uncivil answer, and immediately returned; but was scarcely half way back, before orders were given to the troops to fire, by which Mr. Vischer, Commander of the riflemen, was killed. This bloody signal was sufficient for our burghers, who immediately fell upon the troops with uncommon bravery, and the action became general. M. D'Averhoul, perceiving that the number of the enemy, was greater than he had intelligence of, retreated as far as Jupitans, where posting himself advantageously he continued the action, and obtained a complete victory, having sent, as a proof of it, some waggons loaded with arms, baggage, prisoners, the military chest, colours, and other trophies, to this city. This has greatly animated our burghers, who were very anxious and continually perplexed with various unfavourable accounts, till the waggons came up to the gates of the city. However, every peaceful man must lament that the flame of civil war has burst forth; God only knows where it may end, and what will be the consequences. The number of killed and wounded is not yet known."
Extract of a letter from Rotterdam, June 1.
"We have had sad doings in Amsterdam in the night betwixt Tuesday and Wednesday last. The patriotick mob have plundered the houses of burgomasters, Rendorp and Beels, as also those of Arends the bookseller, and that of his brother, whose houses are entirely destroyed."
"Letters received from thence this morning mention, that the riot is not ceased, and that the opposite party have commenced hostilities, against the patriots (falsely so called) as a reprisal."
"Commerce is at a stand in that once opulent city. The principal houses have shut their counting-houses, and are removing their effects to their country seats."
"Messrs. Hope and Co. have desired and obtained a guard before their house, as have several others. The Hoofe officer (or High Sheriff) has also a guard, the mob having threatened to pillage his house."
Extract of a letter from Paris, May 10.
"The duty on stamped paper has been farmed for 70 millions of livres, almost three millions sterling."
"The new loan of annuities of six millions (a principle of about sixty millions of livres, two millions and a half English) is just published, and was entered in the Parliament's Journal the 7th instant. The conditions are very favourable: For any age not exceeding 40, nine per cent; from 40 to 60, ten, from 60 and upwards, eleven; on two heads, without any distinction of age, eight per cent.—Foreigners, even out of his Majesty's dominions, may subscribe to this loan with no less a sum however than 1000 livres, (about 42 pounds sterling.) Speculators and deep politicians maintain that the loan is very advantageous to the Crown, but that it will be rather detrimental to patrimonial estates or other inheritances; as many persons, who are passed sixty, will most readily give their money to the Treasury for the sake of being enabled to live more comfortably at the end of their lives. It is inconceivable what a pitch of luxury a Gentleman's life is carried to if he means to be introduced into good company."
"It is thought that M. de Segur, of the war department, will soon resign. After so many changes the nation are in hopes to be happily settled at last."
Anecdote for a Bishop's table. —Not very long ago, a gentleman who sometimes speaks his mind, was dining at the table of a Bishop, surrounded by gentlemen who do not always do so—for they were his chaplains. His Lordship gave much into the marvellous—to which the inferior Clergy bowed assent. And I remember, cried his Lordship, when the old Palace of Ely was pulled up, there was a toad found under the walls—at least eight inches across the back, and twelve in length.—The toad was supposed to be a hundred years old:—Wonderful! answered the chaplains: wonderful indeed, cried the gentleman, for it proves that in those days there were no toad-eaters.

Extract of a letter from Glasgow, April 25.
"Within those few days, Capt. Crawford of the Royal George custom house cutter, seized a vessel, called the Chance, belonging to the Ayrshire smugglers, with tobacco on board to the value of near 6000. sterling, which was taken on board in Virginia, to be run, part in Ireland and part in Scotland."
Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, May 26.
"On the 14th inst. died, at Glenconry, Alexander Forbes, Esq. of Inverness."
"Last March died, in the island of Lewis, in the 113th year of his age, Tarquil Macleod. He fought at the battle of Killicranky, Sheriffmuir, and Culloden."
On Tuesday the 24th inst. arrived here the brig Jane, George Suter, master, from St. Martins, in France, but last from Newfoundland, Capt. Suter failed from France in company with a brig belonging to Tinmouth, and the 4th day after they left St. Martins, being in lat. 44: 19: and 5, 20: W. long. they fell in with a Turkish cruiser under American colours, which boarded the brig in company, supposing her to be an American, as they shewed no colours till after they hailed her.
On Saturday evening arrived at Philadelphia, in eight days from Boston, the sloop Betsey Capt. Young, who informs that a Mr. Andrew Demier took passage with him for that city—that on Friday afternoon, the day before his arrival, being then off Bombayhook, the vessel under slow way,
Mr. Demier went forward under pretence to ease himself, got over the bows of the vessel and gradually lowered himself into the water. The mare being on deck and hearing a noise in the water instantly mustered the crew and threw the boat out; he came up near the quarter crotch, and the Capt. threw the bite of the main sheet over him, which got under his arms, and with his own exertions might have saved him; but he disengaged himself from the rope and sunk again; after which diligent search was made with the boat, but without any further discovery. It is remarkable that on the passage, this man was several times heard to say he never should reach Philadelphia; and he once asked the mate to cut his throat. He said he was born in England, though of French extraction. He wrote his name on the binnacle just before he went into the water; that upon the whole, it seems to appear a premeditated plan to put a period to his existence.
A fortunate Escape. —A few days since died at Congleton, in Cheshire, Fanny, the late Mr. Alderman Yearfley's favourite bitch!—Yes, bitch:—for though but a bitch, yet was she, in the hand of Providence, the instrument of saving a very valuable life, in such a manner as, in the opinion of some people, deserves to be published. Mr. Yearfley had gone out one evening with a tradesman to a publick house, and the bitch along with him. A little before he expected to return, Mrs. Yearfley was going to wash herself in a back kitchen, when the bitch returned and scratched at the door for admittance; being let in, she followed her mistress into the kitchen, where she set a strange whining or barking, and turned towards the street door, as beckoning her mistress to follow: This she repeated several times, to the great amazement of Mrs. Yearfley. At length a thought struck her, that Mr. Yearfley had certainly met with some accident in the street, and that the bitch, which could scarce ever be driven from him, was come to guide her to him. Alarmed with this idea, she hastily adjusted her cap, and followed the bitch, which led her to her master, who, to her agreeable disappointment, she found very well at the house he went to. She told them the cause of her coming, and got herself laughed at for her pains.—But what were their feelings when they were informed by their neighbours, that the kitchen had fallen the very instant Mrs. Yearfley shut the door, and that the wash bowl she left was crushed into a thousand pieces!—The bitch was preserved twelve or thirteen years after, till she had turned her 16th year, when her death was a little accelerated by the bite of a mad dog.

BY THE  MARQUIS DE CHASTELLUX,
One of the Forty Members of the French Aca- demy, and Major-General in the French Army, serving under the Count de Rocham- beau.
Translated from the French by an English Gentle- man, who resided in America at that Period. WITH NOTES BY THE TRANSLATOR.
CONDITIONS. I. This Work will be printed in Two Vo- lumes, on a new Type and good Paper. II. The Price to Sub- scribers will be only Six Shillings per Volume, neatly bound and let- tered.—Non-Sub- scribers, Seven Shil- lings. III. Those who subscribe for Twelve Copies will receive a Thirteenth gra- tis.—No Money will be required till the delivery of both Volumes.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are taken in by Thomas Allen, No. 16, Queen-Street, corner of the Fly-Market; and of the Printers, No. 41, Hanover-Square, and all others entrusted with Proposals.
TO THE PUBLIC.
T his Work is too highly celebrated among the inquisitive and ingenious to render a lengthy Account of it necessary. The great number of Co- pies which have been sold in Europe, and the Extracts taken from it and Pu-lished in the different Maga- zines and Newspapers is an unquestionable Evidence of its literary Reputation. To be informed of the Soil and Produce of this Country; of the Character, Employment and Manners of its Inhabitants, as ob- served by a Foreigner of Distinction in a Tour through the United States, is an Object of Importance to every intelligent American.—The different Sieges and Bat- tles, and many interesting Particulars of the late astoni- shing Revolution are unfolded and commented upon.—The high military Rank of the Author in- troduced him to an acquaintance with many of those patriotic Worthies who stood foremost in the Fields of Fame, and in the Defence of the Rights of Mankind. He particularly delineates the Characters of Gene- rals Washington, Green, Gates, St. Clair, Hunting- don, Lincoln, Schuyler, Knox, Wayne, Glover, How, Heath, Moylan, &c. &c. Governors Jefferson, Harrison, Trumbull, &c. &c. Mr. Robert Morris, Financier, Mr. Paine, and a great many others. But his Attention was not here confined; the fair Daugh- ters of Freedom claim their Share; and it is easy to perceive, that the noble Heart of the polite Marquis would melt under the Rays of American Beauty.— shall it be added, that the exact Station, foreign Connections, and superior Eruption of the Author place him above the suspicion of Adulation, and must have dictated to his Pen the Language of Sincerity. This Work is therefore calculated, not only to answer the Purposes of Utility, but to afford likewise the highest Entertainment.—The whole is inter- spersed with curious Anecdotes.
** This Undertaking is the cheapest ever offered to the Public; and Gentlemen who are desirous to encourage the Manufactures of their Country, will doubtless be pleased to think that the Price of this Book, although printed on an handsome Type, good Paper and neatly Bound and Lettered, will be but half the Price of the cheapest Edition yet imported from Europe.
