KINGSTON (Jamaica) Aug. 25.
An inhabitant of the State of New-Hampshire, in North-America, by way of ridiculing the rage for paper money which prevails among his countrymen, observes that a scheme is on foot for introducing an emission of rope-money, to be dealt out by the inch, foot, fathom, &c. which will answer a better and more valuable purpose than paper; as a shilling will be sufficient to give a man a good whipping, if he attempts to depreciate it; and a larger quantity be sufficient to hang him, if he is detected in any treasonable practices.
The following is an instance of Divine Providence, manifested in the preservation of two unfortunate persons who were driven off the island of Grenada on the 6th of last month:—Mr. Elias Baskman, who kept a trading canoe at that island, having been conveying a cargo from Guava to St. George's Bay, about 16 miles, assisted with one negro, was, quickly after leaving St. George's Key, on his return, attacked by a sudden squall of wind, and driven entirely out to sea; having only a quart of peas, and a pound and a half of salt beef on board, and no water but what was scantily supplied them by the Heavens; when that failed them, they were compelled to drink their own urine. They had but one sail, which together with the rudder was lost in the same gale of wind, which continued for four days without intermission: during this period, they also lost the only instrument of guidance left them, their paddle. They then consigned themselves to the mercy of the waves, and abandoned every hope of safety. Land never appeared to them until they arrived off a place near Old-Harbor in this island, where they landed on Saturday the 25th ult. having been at sea in that deplorable situation 19 days; and had not Providence provided them with a few flying fish, and a couple of birds which flew on board the canoe, they must have inevitably perished for want. On their arrival at the above place, they were scarce able to stand, and exhibited an appearance truly ghastly and distressful. A fisherman residing there, to the honor of his humanity and feelings, lent every assistance in his power to those poor starving wretches to get them on shore, and afterwards exerted himself to the utmost to provide for them such necessaries of comfort and other accommodations as they must naturally stand in need of. Those two miserable people, thus preserved by the finger of Providence, are in this town, in a state very feeble and emaciated, and so violently excoriated by the torrefaction of the sun, that the skin of their hands and faces is entirely peeling off. Mr. Baskman is a cooper, possessing some property in Grenada, and the negro belongs to a Mr. Webster in that island.
Sept. 1. By the arrival of his Majesty's sloops of war the Camilla and Cygnet, we are informed, that the final evacuation of the Musquito-Shore had taken place some time before they left it.
We hear from the Bay of Honduras, that flour and some articles of provisions are very scarce and very dear in that quarter.
Sept. 8. The General Assembly of this island, which stands prorogued to the 16th of October next, is further prorogued by Royal Proclamation, to the 23d of October next,—then to meet and proceed to business.
New-York, Oct. 10.
Which of the two is most ridiculous (says the Massachusetts Centinel) the British ministry paying a British general [Burgoyne] for writing farces, such as the 'Maid of the Oaks,' &c. during the siege of Boston; or the Thirteen United States of America maintaining an Ambassador in England at the enormous expence of perhaps eight or ten guineas per day, for no other visible purpose, than to write an eulogium on the British government, under the sham pretence of vindicating the American constitutions!
"Dr. Adams's Defence, &c. (say the Reviewers) is full of contradictions and absurdities. The balances , the balancés , are perpetually rung in our ears, like the graces , the graces , by Lord Chesterfield; whereas he has not given a rational account of the real balancing powers of any state, or the particulars in which that balance consisted. In short, a man of Dr. Adams's known abilities could not have written so superficial a book as this, had his good sense alone been consulted; for which reason we conclude, that he must have some point to carry, some object in view beyond the Atlantic, with which we are not acquainted. It may possibly answer his purpose, and may mislead the unwary, but can neither instruct nor entertain. The Americans are evidently involved in distresses, from which they know not how to extricate themselves: we hoped this book might have answered the purpose, but we feel ourselves wholly disappointed."—It is worth while to add, that these letters are addressed to a William Stephens Smith, Esq. who appears to possess
the transcendent merit of being Mr. Adams's son-in-law.
Nothing, says a correspondent, proves the decline of our European trade in American bottoms more incontestibly than the amazing increase of our domestic and coaling trade. Twenty years ago one vessel only (a brig) was established in the trade from Philadelphia to Charleston, at present there are six or seven. At the same time a sloop of 50 tons answered that purpose from New-York, there are now three or four from this port. Exports from the middle colonies would always before the revolution pay a good freight to Rhode-Island, Massachusetts, &c. At present those branches of business are overdone by a superfluity of hands. The West-India islands are equally glutted with the produce of our continent, and the American shippers and importers for the most part live by the loss. What does all this prove, but that we ought to give up the idea of a very extensive marine trade, employ ourselves in agriculture and manufactures, and, if possible, be happy at home.
In the sentence of a late Supreme Court in an Eastern state, it is observable, that among about a score of culprits, more than one half of them were women, convicted of conveying tools to prisoners. This shews the superior benevolence of the sex. The world, says a moralizing author, may be thus defined: It is a vast theatre, on which mankind are the actors; chance composes the piece; fortune distributes the parts; the women supply refreshments to the actors, and the unfortunate are scene drawers and candle snuffers.
By the Arrivals of Monday, from London, we have received English Prints to the 10th August.
ALGIER S, June 18.
The situation of this country is very disagreeable. A number of Christian Powers propose to revenge the frequent outrages committed on their ships, and menace the Regency with a war which may prove very fatal, as in all appearance they will find no support from the other nations, as their corsairs have for some time past attacked and plundered every vessel they met of every nation. The plague continues its ravages, which in fact increase, as they use neither preservative to prevent the disease, nor remedy when they are first attacked with it. Two-thirds of the ships of the last armament which sailed, have perished, and the rest have been obliged to come again into port, for want of hands to work the ships and fight. One of our corsairs which had taken a ship belonging to Portugal, and conducted her into Tangiers, has been forced by the Emperor of Morocco to restore her, and remain in port 24 hours after the prize sailed from it. The Dey was very much displeased with this news, but he has discretion enough to keep his complaints to himself, lest he should bring 60,000 Moors upon him, who are ready to descend from the mountains at the first order of the Emperor of Morocco.
HAGUE, July 19.
The States of Gueldres, having no more money, have ordered to be distributed to peasants, the arms taken from the brave burghers of their cities. The States of Zealand have proposed to the States General to break the union with Holland, and to hold no longer the assembly at the Hague. The States of Amerisfort have demanded of the Generality, to arm five ships of 50 guns each, furnished with letters of marque from the Captain General, to be sent to the Zuyder Zee.
UTRECHT, July 25.
Means have been found to disperse in the camp, small printed bills, containing the promise made by the State of Holland, to give six ducats to every soldier who shall return to the colours of their Noble and Great Mightinesses.
LONDON, August 10.
The Vestal frigate, of 28 guns, which is now fitting for sea at Deptford-yard, is ordered for the Mediterranean station, and to carry over Sir Frederick Haldimand, to his government of Gibraltar, to which he was appointed on Monday last.
On Monday night one of the Admiralty messengers arrived at commissioner Martin's at Portsmouth, with an express from the Board; and we learn that some more ships are to be put in commission, but not their names, as there is unusual secrecy observed in this department lately.
In consequence of some ambiguous proceedings in the court of France, we sent over about a month ago a memorial, demanding an explanation on several heads. The answer to this memorial only arrived about the middle of last week, and was couched in terms both unsatisfactory and contemptuous; in consequence of which Mr. Pitt, who had hitherto been much averse to war, entered entirely into the opposite councils, and a system at once both bold, vigorous and decisive was adopted. To support the Stadtholder, cost what it might, was the first resolve: and a second memorial,
notifying this resolution, in very high spirited language, was committed to the care of Mr. Eden, who set out on Saturday night; at the same time, Mr. Grenville was dispatched to the Stadtholder, to inform him of this decision in our cabinet, and another messenger to Berlin, with similar dispatches to his Prussian majesty.
Previous however to this resolve, the Prussian Monarch, anxious for the safety and interests of the Stadtholder, and not much pleased with the dilatory pacific measures of our ministry, had determined to take the field; and by the arrival of the Duke of York we learn, that 3000 troops have marched accordingly. This is the real state of affairs at this moment; and it appears, that unless France abandon the patriotic party in Holland, and a line of conduct politic in every point of view, and which she is now nearly reaping the fruits of—a war in Europe is inevitable.
It was reported yesterday, with apparent confidence, that the King of Prussia had actually put his troops in motion, with a resolution of marching them into Holland.—But we rather rely on our own authority, and previous intimations, from our confidential correspondent abroad, viz. that no circumstance was likely to happen, which could alter his Majesty's resolution of not marching his troops before the sixth instant, the time fixed for a decisive answer from the rebellious States, and for his Majesty's last resolve.
Another dispatch went yesterday to Berlin—and the Hanover Regency.
Mr. Grenville's abilities demand employment—and in Holland he will have room for them all. Perhaps as that country may soon be the seat of war—even with all the talents of Sir James Harris, somewhat additional may not be found useless.
The troops of the Stadtholder, it is said, have to thank this country for present pay and good quarters. The sum to the amount of—one hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
The epistolary correspondence of the Princess of Orange, is in the perfection of that kind of writing—she is unquestionably of a great mind, full of enterprize and resource; her alacrity and cheerfulness have rather increased with the present emergencies.
The French remit their military preparations in consequence of the late spirited representations.
A report was pretty current in town on Wednesday, that one of the frigates belonging to the Admiralty at Amsterdam, had seized in the Zuyder Zee a sloop of sixteen guns, carrying the Orange flag, and carried her into Amsterdam, where the officers are put into the common prison, and the crew sent on board one of the guard ships.
The report of a sloop, being seized in the Zuyder Zee, is pretty well confirmed, with this addition, that the Admiralties of Holland and Friesland have ordered their men of war to seize all vessels that they may find in future with such distinguishing marks of being in the Stadtholder's interest.
A letter from the Hague, of July 27, says, "There are new commotions at Amsterdam. One of the frigates belonging to that Admiralty, has brought in a sloop having the Orange flag, whose whole crew are sent to prison, and they talk of punishing the officers, as pirates, with death. This has made a fresh ferment, and the friends of the Orangites again erect their fallen crests."
A second remonstrance, of the most spirited nature, has been sent to his Highness the Prince Bishop of Leige, relating to his giving up the person of the minor Lord Gormanstown, of the kingdom of Ireland, and it is not doubted but this last missive will have the desired effect.
Wednesday a full Board of Admiralty was held, when four more frigates were put into commission, the officers appointed to them, and several promotions took place.
General Sir Frederick Haldimand is the newly appointed Governor of Gibraltar, in the room of Lord Heathfield; and General O'Hara is to be the new Lieutenant Governor, vice Major General Boyd. The new Governor goes out to his command in a man of war, but not till the close of the summer.
The following is the postscript of a letter from Ostend, dated July 25: "We have this moment received an account from Bruges, and that the lower kind of people had rose, and lopt every person going in and coming out of that town, enquiring who they were for; and if they said for the Brabant States, they gave them cockades to wear; but if for the Emperor, they beat and used them very ill."
A letter from Boulogne, of July 20, says, "M. de Winter, Commissary of his Imperial Majesty's army, is arrived here in five days from Vienna, being ordered to form the necessary magazines for the subsistence of the Austrian army, who have received orders to march into the Low Countries. The Count de Merterpich, Minister for the Emperor, has presented requisitorial letters for the passage of these troops, which was immediately granted."
The army of Brabant, is high in the report of military men. Well officered—well
provided—well appointed throughout!—Throughout animated with that spirit—which makes soldiers!
A few young Englishmen, much distinguished by fortune and fashion, but more by the promise of sentiment and action—are expected as volunteers in the army of Brabant:—which is the army of manhood, sagacity and virtue.
An ordinance was issued at Bruxelles last week, in the name of the Emperor, forbidding all persons whatever, publishing, either by printing, writing, or speaking, any matter tending to hinder the re-establishment of peace in the Emperor's dominions, under the penalty of five hundred florins.
By letters from Buffora we learn, that on the 6th of May, Shaick Twiney, Chief of the Montic Arabs, took possession of the government-house, having first seized the Mussulman, and all the principal officers, and made himself master of the Turkish fleet lying off the town.
The intention of this Chief, it seems, is to take upon himself the government of the country, and, if possible, to procure from the Porte an appointment as Pacha of Bagdad. Fortunately for us, this enterprising man is warmly attached to the English; to whom, since his arrival, he has paid the most respectful attention.
The wine-merchants of Dublin advertise to sell wines, the growth of Portugal and Spain, at sixteen shillings per dozen, whilst the consumer in London pays at the rate of thirty shillings!
Letters from the Bay of Honduras, dated the 4th of June, mention, that several ships were to sail from that place in about a fortnight, all full laden, for London, with mahogany, which had been cut on an improved plan, by several artificers that had settled there from America.
