OBSERVATIONS on TUNIS, &c.
(Continued.)
THERE is great plenty and variety of pot-herbs and fruits, with a continual succession throughout the year; melons and water melons, in great abundance, and very cheap. Provisions of all sorts not only excellent, but at so moderate a price, that a labouring man may live throughout the day with bread, meat and herbs comfortably and well for three pence.
The Consul's dragoman assured me his family, consisting of himself, his wife, his wife's mother and a maid, all expenses included, amounted to no more than twenty-five pounds sterling per annum. A book formerly belonging to Mr. Lawrence, British Consul in the year 1722, which contains an account of his expenses, make the amount sixty-four pounds sterling, for the yearly maintenance of ten or twelve persons in family; provisions are considerably raised since that time. The expenses for the family of the present Consul, then consisting of fourteen persons, amounted to two hundred pounds sterling per annum.
The Bazar or receptacle for merchandise where the different crafts carry on their trade, is of great extent, divided into quarters, covered over to shelter them from the sun and rain.
Each trade in general works by itself, as tailors, shoemakers, &c. The Jews, who have the whole of the silver business in their hands, make a large assortment of articles for this place, and the inland country, all very coarsely fabricated, these have their distinct Bazar. I used frequently to visit their quarter, to buy medals; as most of the gold and silver medals fall into their hands, being brought by the country people, who sell them for the intrinsic value of the metal.
Great numbers of medals are found in this country, particularly after the heavy rains in October, some of them worthy the attention of the curious. Mr. Molinari, late Swedish Consul, had a fine cabinet of medals and engraved stones, many years collecting by the family of his lady. I am informed, since his death, they have been purchased by the King of Sweden.
The inhabitants of this country, who are true Iconoclasts, mutilate and destroy every noble remnant of antiquity. When they find a medal, their method is to spit upon, and scour it with sand, and thereby commonly deface both the figure and legend.
The Jews are very numerous at Tunis, being computed at thirty thousand; they have their synagogues, and are governed by two Alcads, chosen from among themselves, and approved by the King.
The same custom prevails here as in the Levant, that no business is transacted without their mediation, they being the general brokers. They are, however, for the most part poor, and ill treated by the Moors, whom they dare not offend. Such among them as have property, make but little appearance with it.
The market for black slaves is held on Friday in the Bazar, on a place like a stage, raised about three feet with benches round, and a platform in the middle, to walk them up and down and shew their limbs to the purchasers: no Christian is allowed to buy a black slave. I have seen many among them, of both sexes, with fine regular features, very different from the Guinea blacks. These people are brought to Tunis from the interior parts of Africa, by caravans which come regularly once a year, but from what part I could never learn. I was informed by a merchant, that they were five months on their journey, bringing ostrich feathers, gold dust, slaves, gums, and a variety of other articles, which they sell and exchange for goods proper to carry back.
The baths are crowded; frequent washings being an essential article of the Mahometan religion. The expense of the bath each time is at the moderate price of two aspers.
The coffee-houses are chiefly kept by Greeks; the coffee used by them is from the French islands; and the price, an asper a dish.
The houses of the European Consuls, all situated near the East or Sea Gate, are comfortable good dwellings. The Fondou or Factory of the French nation, consisting of several commercial houses, is inclosed within their own walls, and governed by a Consul and Vice Consul, appointed by the King, under controul of the Chamber of Commerce at Marseilles.
As I am on this subject, I beg leave to make some few remarks respecting their trade. In almost every port of the Mediterranean and Levant to which a vessel can approach, or where there is any appearance or probability of trade; the French have a Consul or Vice Consul. Ships of war are cruising to protect their vessels from pirates, which are common in those seas. The Consul has a code of laws for his rule, and merchants and captains of vessels are under his controul. The port fees are moderate, consequently not unattractive to trade. The difference between this method of acting and that of the British Consuls, caused a very intelligent person to remark, that it appeared to him, the French Consuls were sent out for the protection of trade, and the British Consuls for its oppression. The French Consul and Vice Consul are appointed with salaries sufficient to support their rank and dignity, but not permitted to trade on any pretext whatever: consequently they act with more impartiality between the merchants and natives. The Vice Consul is a check upon the Consul, and if his behavior is liable to reproach, it is his indispensable duty to inform the Chamber of Commerce.
L O N D O N, May 27. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Monday, May 26. NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERY.
Mr. Pitt observed, that this country had always asserted and enjoyed the sovereignty of Newfoundland, and of the surrounding sea, from the time of their first discovery, till it had been found expedient to allow the French to fish upon the coast; that liberty was secured to them by the treaty of Utrecht; and by the last treaty of peace, it had been agreed with France, that the limits within which the French fishery was confined by the treaty of Utrecht, should be enlarged; and further, that within the limits so enlarged, there should be no interference on the part of the English to the detriment of the French. Now, tho' strictly speaking, the former were not excluded from fishing within the limits assigned to the latter, still he was of opinion that in sound policy, it ought to be enacted that we should not interfere with the French in those parts, but leave them the undivided liberty of fishing within the limits in question. Many motives urged him to adopt this opinion; if our ships were mixed with those of France, it might not be a very easy task to preserve the peace and harmony between the two nations; and on the other hand, the French might have an opportunity of corrupting our seamen and inveigling them into their service. For these reasons, therefore, he moved for leave to bring in a Bill to empower his Majesty to send out directions to his Governors and Commanders at Newfoundland, to restrain the English from fishing within the limits
assigned to the French by the late treaty of Paris. After some conversation the motion passed: the bill which Mr. Pitt had already prepared was brought up, read, and ordered to be printed.
SLAVE TRADE.
Sir William Dolben brought in his bill for limiting the number of slaves to be carried in each ship belonging to this country, from the coast of Africa to the West-Indies. The bill was immediately read.
Sir William then moved that it should be read a second time.
Mr. Greville amended the motion by moving, that the second reading should be on this day three months.
These motions were likely to produce a debate, which was however, prevented by the Attorney-General, who moved that the house should be counted; it was accordingly counted, and found to consist of fewer than forty members; an immediate adjournment of course took place, and the business was dropped for this day.
K I N G S T O N, (Jamaica), June 14.
Letters received in town lately from the Cape, mention, that some regiments and recruits had arrived there from Old France, in several armed transports.
By a gentleman from St. Domingo, we learn, that about three weeks ago, as a small Spanish sloop was lying under Cape Alavella, near the Friar's Rocks, on the coast of Hispaniola, an English built brigantine, crowded with men, mounting ten carriage guns and a number of swivels, beat up under her stern, a little before sun-set;—but getting into shoal water, she suddenly hove to, and sent a boat with armed men to board the sloop; the captain of which, observing that his intended visitors were in a state of hostile preparations, instantly slipped his cable, made sail, and ran into shoal water;—upon which several shots were fired at him from the brig—but night coming on, the Spanish captain made his escape, his vessel being a fast sailer, and himself well acquainted with the navigation of the coast. Before the sloop was out of sight, the boat's crew, belonging to the brig, boarded a small Spanish Schooner, and carried her off. Our informant adds, that the brig carried a blue flag at her ensign staff, bespangled with stars, and to all appearance was an American pirate.
JUNE 21.
Advices by the packet fully confirm the intelligence some time ago received, by the Henniker, Harrison, from Gibraltar, of the disaffection of the Emperor of Morocco to the British interest—the Barbarian having gone to every extremity with that garrison, short of actual hostilities, which he will be cautious how he attempts, while he recollects that two or three English frigates could destroy his whole despicable navy of row-boats.
Our latest papers by the packet are filled with the most alarming accounts of bankruptcies, in London, and other parts of England, to an incredible amount, owing to the failure of some capital houses in the linen and cotton trade, who had speculated largely in those articles, on the conclusion of the commercial treaty with France. On the 7th of May, new failures were daily taking place, nor could an idea be formed, where the devastation was likely to terminate.
JUNE 28.
On the 18th inst. about one o'clock in the morning, the house of Mr. Raphael de Cordova, at Old Harbor, was discovered to be on fire, and in a very short time was entirely consumed.—The rapidity of the flames was so great, that no exertions from the neighbors could stop them, nor could any of the goods in the store be saved; a desk and an iron chest were however taken out in time—No account can be given how this unfortunate calamity happened; but it is believed to have been committed by some incendiary, in the absence of Mr. Cordova, who was at that time in Spanish Town. His loss is supposed to be very considerable.
JULY 5.
On Sunday last, between the hours of two and four in the afternoon, a fire happened at Golden Grove estate, in the parish of St. George, the property of Fortunatus Dwaris, Esq. which unfortunately consumed 29 negro houses.—Two poor negro children were burnt, who were in one of the houses, and during the confusion were neglected.—Several hogs, and other stock, were also lost in the flames. This accident is not yet accounted for.
We are sorry to hear, and announce the dearth which at present prevails in the parish of St. Elizabeth. Though at the same time it gives us heartfelt satisfaction to remark, that in this parish, vegetation thrives, showers plenteous we have, and nature here looks gay.
While our Brothers of the Type in Kingston, are rejoicing at the downfall of Law, here are we replenishing, collecting, suing and non-suiting each other.—For what purpose?—Why, to fill the pockets of those who will ever after smile at the folly of their wealthy clients—verifying the old proverb—“Those that win will laugh!”

It is to be hoped that the peace of the commonwealth may be purchased, says a correspondent, by giving some kind of pecuniary satisfaction to a certain officer high in rank in the government, but at the same time, our correspondent observes, he also hopes that this satisfaction will not be a finis .
Nothing shews the perfect propriety of the governor's conduct, in not annexing the finis post of captain of the castle to the office of lieutenant-governor, so much as the proceedings of general Lincoln's friends respecting this very appointment during the life of governor Cushing; as the impropriety of that gentleman's holding this lucrative
place was so fully demonstrated in that period, by the very persons who are now so clamorous for the measure, as to leave no doubt, not only of the place of commander of that useful fortress, and President of the Council, being highly improper, but directly incompatible, when vested in the same person.
To the honor of the Governor, he has continued unmoved amidst the little and illiberal publications with which some of the news papers have teemed for this fortnight past, less indebted to his injury, than they are in the highest degree dishonorable to the gentleman, by whose countenance and approbation they have been written.
Last Tuesday evening arrived in town, from New-York, the Honorable Major General KNOX. It is pleasant to remark the silly apologies, and the petulant answers, which have appeared in two or three late papers, respecting the place of Captain of the Castle, the want of which, has given such umbrage to General Lincoln, as if these silly apologies for his Excellency's just way of thinking upon this subject, and these petulant answers, were not the productions of the same persons.
In a free Constitution of government, it is an essential maxim, that every officer should know the exact sum which he has a right to receive, and that the people should also be informed of what is really paid. There should be handsome salaries annexed to dignified stations, but no sinecures.
It is unhappy in a government like ours, that there are in it, those characters “who can be never at heart's ease, while there are any greater than themselves.”
It is asserted as a matter of fact, highly honorable to Mr. Adams, upon his Excellency, our worthy and amiable Governor's having declared to himself in conversation, long before the choice of Lieutenant Governor was determined, that he could not conscientiously appoint him to the Captaincy of the Castle, if he should have the honor of being elected.—“Nor would I receive the commission if you would give it,” replied this real patriot, “for I never wish to receive the emoluments of an office, the duties of which I cannot discharge.”
P H I L A D E L P H I A, August 12.
Last Thursday evening, at 7 o'clock, a girl about 5 years old was unfortunately drowned in the river, near the Hay scales, in the Northern Liberties, and was taken up by Mr. Boufflot, and the usual remedy applied by Dr. Parris, &c. for its recovery, above two hours, without effect. It must be observed, that before the Physicians arrived, some women had taken it in hands, and it is supposed by rolling it on boards, and other improper applications, contributed to prevent its recovery.
C A R L I S L E, July 30.
Last week a new recruited company, being this state's quota, under the command of Capt. D. Zeigler, arrived here from Philadelphia, on their way to the Western Country, to join the troops there—and on Saturday departed hence for their quarters. Their characters and appearance must undoubtedly ensure that decorum in military, which most of them were known to hold in civil life.
N O R F O L K, July 30.
Extract of a letter from Washington, (N. C.) dated July 1, 1788.
“The news of Virginia having ratified the new constitution came to hand yesterday, and diffused general joy amongst the inhabitants of this town, which they signified by a discharge of nine guns, in honor of the nine states which had ratified the new constitution, and a tenth in gratitude to the grand convention which formed it. In the evening the artillery was moved to Horn's tavern, where a great number of the inhabitants met and discharged ten more guns, after which, ten federal toasts were drank.
“The evening was spent in the utmost harmony and good order.”
R I C H M O N D, August 6.
Departed this life, on Tuesday the 8th of July last, THOMAS ADAMS, Esq. a gentleman whose amiable disposition and engaging manners rendered him agreeable to a numerous acquaintance, and extremely dear to all with whom he was intimately acquainted. He expired (after a short illness) at the house of his friend Doct. Corbin Griffin, of York.
W I N C H E S T E R, July 30.
The last accounts from Kentucky advise, that the Persons who escaped being taken at the time Mr. Purviance, &c. were captured by the Indians, are safe arrived at the Rapids, the place of their destination. We further learn, that the savages keep a constant look out for boats going down the Ohio, which renders it very dangerous for adventurers to the distant region of Kentucky, notwithstanding the many boasted enjoyments which induce numbers to move there from this and other parts of the United States.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Luzerne county, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Wilkes-barre, July 29.
“Colonel Pickering was released by the banditti who took him prisoner—being continually harassed by parties who were after them, and receiving no support from any quarter, was the cause of releasing the Colonel. He arrived here the evening of the 16th instant, in as good a condition as could have been expected. The parties who were out took four of the wild boys prisoners; two are gone to Easton gaol, and two are confined here—together with several suspected persons.
“When the proclamation arrived here, new life was given to the young gentlemen who had been out before; they set out again, and this morning a few of the party brought in Joseph Dudley prisoner; he is wounded through the body, and in all probability it will prove mortal. One other, Abber, is wounded; he fell, but the party did not get him. They fell in with them at the plain called Wyfacks, about 75 miles from hence up the river.
“One William Garney, of the wild party, has delivered himself up to a justice of the Peace of this county. Dudley is since dead of his wound.”
S H I P N E W S.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-Street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to all who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the plan laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, No. 21, Wall-Street, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, that as every subscriber's chimnies shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The under taking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by configuration, which too frequently originates in foul chimnies, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
