C O P E N H A G E N, Aug 3.
Vice-admiral Defien is still detained by contrary winds at Elsinore. That his Squadron, however, might not remain totally inactive, he dispatched last week two cutters, who having, on the 30th ult and the 1st and 2d inst. fallen in with eleven Swedish vessels off Koul, at the distance of about three miles from the fortress of Kronenburgh, made prizes of them all. They were freighted with grain, salt, salted herrings, and iron; and this day they were brought safely into the port of Elsinore.
Within these few hours we have received intelligence that two other Russian cutters have entered that port with two fresh Swedish prizes; the one, a vessel bound from Stockholm to London with iron and tar, the other from Newland, with a cargo of herrings for the Baltic.
W A R S A W, August 1.
It is positively asserted here, that Jassy has again yielded to the dominion of the Turks, the Austrians having found it necessary to abandon the place, in order to assist at the siege of Choczim.
V I E N N A, July 30.
Eight hundred and fifty-five families are arrived from the frontiers of Turkey in the county of Syrmia; they consist of 5732 persons, male and female, and have brought with them 1300 horses and foals, 3000 head of horned cattle, 8000 sheep, 2000 hogs, and 3000 goats; these have been distributed for the purpose of agriculture.
Major Michalevich, commander of the volunteers of Servia, has made an advantageous expedition against a Palanka, called Hassan-Bassa Palanka, about 10 miles beyond Belgrade, on the other side the Danube, on the enemy's territory, which place forms a very good post. Arriving in the night between the 18th and 19th with most of his volunteers in the environs of that place, he learnt by his spies that a pretty strong garrison was there, commanded by a Pacha; and having in the night placed his men on the heights of the environs of Hassan-Bassa Palanka, he at day break advanced by beat of drum, upon which 20 Turkish horse fell upon him; in the mean time a terrible noise, accompanied with loud cries, was heard in the Palanka. The moment Major Michalevich advanced with his troops the garrison fled on all sides, but were pursued, and many Turks were killed, and a flag taken. The houses of the Palanka were full of all sorts of provisions; our troops took only the rice, coffee, butter, white bread, &c. and burnt the rest, together with the houses that contained them; in the Pacha's house were a great many of his effects, his papers and treasure. The spoil was very considerable, and consisted chiefly of money, tents and horses, 80 oxen and other cattle, and a great quantity of all sorts of provisions. The volunteers returned the 21st inst. to Palech and Zabreth with the booty, three prisoners and a flag with the loss of only 12 killed and 2 wounded.
The grand vizier, as we are informed by the last accounts from Semlin, instead of going to Nicopolis, as he pretended, is gone with most of his army to the left towards Servia, so that the Russian volunteers must have already met his van guard on this side of Widin. If our volunteers are right the grand Ottoman army will be near Belgrade by the beginning of next month; but the emperor's camp is so strongly entrenched that it will be rashness in the enemy to attempt to force it, though it thought to be the grand vizier's design to engage the Imperial army, cost what it will, as he is persuaded that the Austrians (if defeated) will be obliged to sue for peace.
— AUGUST 2. —
It mortifies us not a little to learn, that our brave corps of volunteers have failed in all their attempts upon the fortress of Zwornick. This place is of great importance, from its vicinity to Belgrade. If once in our possession, we should effectually cut off the Turks from all communication with Servia and Bosnia.
It is now certain that the grand vizier has passed Vidin at the head of 60,000 men, four thousand of whom he has detached to Orsova. It is evident then, that by this time he can be at no great distance from our head-quarters. Our accounts respecting general Fabry's evacuating Jassy is confirmed; he was obliged thereto owing to certain advices, that a body of 50,000 Turks, commanded by Jakul Aga, Elmuel Pacha, and Ibrahim Bracken, were endeavouring to surround him and his small force. The inhabitants of Jassy, to the number of 30,000, being informed of the general's intention, loaded 5000 waggons and followed him to Bottschau, carrying with them all their property and cattle.
F R A N C F O R T, Aug 8.
The 23d ult. a great part of the extensive district between the forest of Noire and the river Als was laid waste by a dreadful, and almost unprecedented hail storm; and the same day eighteen houses in the town of Wimpfen were destroyed by lightning.
T R I E S T E, July 30.
The senate of Venice have sent a reinforcement of eight-gun shallops, and two chebecs, of a new invention, to admiral Emo, and have prohibited the exportation of grain.
S T O C K H O L M, July 23.
Count Rouzamowski, the Russian envoy, is still here, though he was ordered by the king of Sweden to depart about a month ago, but could not comply with the order without receiving permission from his court. The courier he sent there returned some time ago with the answer, that as he had desired to come to Peterburgh for some time, he might take the present opportunity after having embarked his suite, chancery and papers of legation; but a disagreeable occurrence still retards his departure. The King having sent a courier from Helsingfors the 12th inst. to Count Duben, with orders for him again to desire M. de Rouzamowski to quit Stockholm without delay in four days, the latter demanded the necessary passports of M. de Duben, who answered, there would be no need of any, as the King intended he should go to Peterburgh in a yacht. The Envoy refused this offer, declaring he designed to go by Helsingfors through Finland, on which M. de Duben sent a courier to the king, who returned the day before yesterday with the answer that the Russian minister might, instead of going to Peterburgh, go in the yacht to Revel or Strafsund, but that he should not pass through Finland. But M. Rouzamowski persists in refusing to go on board the yacht, insisting that he ought to be at liberty to go where he chooses. As the king, on the other hand, has declared himself so positively, and does not seem likely to give way, this affair may be attended with disagreeable consequences.
The land army does not seem to have made any progress, nor the citadel of Nyllot to have yielded. We only learn that the city of Wybourg, the capital of Carelia, belonging to the Russians, is blocked up on the land side by the
Swedish troops, and on the sea side by the Swedish galleys and flat-bottomed boats from Sweaborg.
L O N D O N, Sept. 2.
The last letters from Peterburgh mention that the capital was much deserted, from the fear that Wybourg would surrender on the attack of the Swedish army.
The object of the present troubles between Sweden and Russia is fully answered, whether the former is victorious or not, as a diversion of the Russian force has been occasioned by it, large draughts have been ordered from the southern army under prince Potemkin, and the destination of the Russian squadron to the Mediterranean, which was most apprehended, has been completely frustrated.
By letters from Sir James Anslie, at Constantinople, the last of which is dated July 15th, we learn, that the plague has much increased there, as well as in all the towns and villages bordering on the Bosphorus and Propontis, and on the road towards Belgrade; it has likewise broken out in Moldavia, where its ravages amongst the Austrian troops is very considerable, and which greatly contributed to the retreat of the army before that place. He further says, this contagious disorder has already taken off 6000 people at Chetzim, and that the malady exists over all the Turkish frontiers; a circumstance, which added to the meditated invasion into the Bannat, and towards the Sava, can hardly fail to make a most extensive devastation. The weather having set in very sultry for some time past, is very unfavorable for the inhabitants of this unhappy country.
A letter from Amsterdam, dated August 20, says "This day went out of the harbor to the Texel to be fully equipt, La Scipion of 40 guns, Zwollauwe 28, and Valche sloop of 16 guns, they are going to Delmina, on the coast of Africa, where we learn the French are making some encroachments, which if not timely checked, may prove materially injurious to our trade, and lay the foundation of disputes. Their traders being at present the aggressors, the mischief may be more easily remedied.— Principiis obsta. "
According to letters from Copenhagen of the 16th inst. the Danish squadron which consists of one ship of 40 guns, two of 74, one of 68, and two of 60 guns, besides frigates, was about to put to sea under command of rear admiral Elsbrocktenne, for the purpose of observation, and to exercise the ships and men.—This cruise is expected to be in the Sound, and as high up the Baltic, probably on the entrance of the Gulf.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, Oct 27.
Wednesday night about eight o'clock, a most daring robbery was committed in Third-street, just below Lombard-street, by two fellows, who seizing an inhabitant within sight of his own house, and putting a pistol to his head, demanded his money, threatening destruction if he made a noise; and he was thus obliged to deliver what cash he had about him; but the villains desiring him to go with them to a dark and lonesome place, he thought proper to resist, and accordingly forced himself away, when one of them fired a pistol at him, which, however, fortunately missed, and the neighbourhood being then alarmed, the robbers made off. Several people were in sight at the time, but were ignorant of the affair until the pistol went off. The same fellows had but a few minutes before stopped a gentleman near the same spot, but a girl coming out of an adjacent house with a lighted candle, they left him.
We learn that Dr. Franklin a few days ago presented the honorable Vice President Redick with fifty pounds, as a donation to the Academy lately erected in Washington, by act of the General assembly.
N E W - H A V E N, October 23.
G O V E R N O R H U N T I N G T O N'S Speech at the opening of the October Session.
Gentlemen of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
T HE present time being the stated season for the Legislature to assemble, agreeably to our Constitution, the annual business of the October session will, of course claim your attention.
There are also other important subjects, which will necessarily come before you.
The United States in Congress assembled, by the act of the 13th of September, have resolved that the 1st Wednesday in January next be the day for appointing electors in the several states, which before that time shall have ratified the Federal Constitution, which is already ratified by this state: that the first Wednesday in February be the day for the electors to assemble in their respective states, and vote for a President of the United States of America; and that the first Wednesday in March next be the time, and the present seat of Congress the place for commencing proceedings under said Constitution. By comparing this act of Congress with the Federal Constitution, you will readily observe it is necessary for the legislature to direct the manner of choosing electors in this state, who are to vote for a President on the first Wednesday of February next; and also to prescribe the proper regulations for holding elections for Senators and representatives for this state, to meet in Congress on the first Wednesday in March next.
You will observe the necessity of a compliance, on the part of this State, in due season, that Congress may commence proceedings at the time appointed.
The importance of the subject will, no doubt, claim your candid and deliberate consideration.
The prosperity and happiness of the Union will greatly depend on the proceedings and regulations which shall be adopted by the first Congress.
Some other acts of Congress will also want your attention. Requisitions to replenish the Federal Treasury, and a recommendation to make effectual provision to prevent the nefarious practice of transporting convicted malefactors from foreign countries into these United States. Likewise communication from several states in the union, will be laid before you and require a consideration.
You will receive from the comptroller in the course of the session a state of the public accounts, which may enable you to determine whether some further regulations relative to our finances will not be beneficial and necessary.
It is probable in considering the subjects that will come before you, it may be found necessary to have an adjourned session in the course of the winter. Should that be the case, may not the public business be arranged in such manner as to shorten the present session in some measure, without detriment to the public service.
GENTLEMEN, you may be assured I shall be happy in contributing my best endeavours to give proper dispatch to the public business, which may come under consideration. S A M U E L H U N T I N G T O N.
Last Friday evening about 7 o'clock, a meteor was seen passing through the atmosphere from N. E. to S. W. with amazing velocity.—The editor of this paper saw it during its passage over 30 or 40 degrees, and its nucleus appeared as large as the sun or moon in the meridian. The tail was of a different length in different parts of its path, varying from five to seven diameters of its nucleus. A report like that of heavy, distant thunder, was heard about three minutes after it disappeared, whence its altitude is judged to be about 40 miles. The late President Clap's opinion of these meteors was this: "They are solid bodies, half a mile in diameter, revolving round the earth in long ellipses, their least distance being about 20 or 30 miles: by their friction upon the atmosphere they make a constant rumbling noise, and collect electrical fire, and when they come nearest the earth or a little after, being then overcharged, they make an explosion as loud as a large cannon."
