Prague, March 1. A letter from Dunkirk represents the refugee Hollanders as a body of people perfectly united and harmonious.
Paris, March 14. They are this year, to hasten the works at Cherbourg; before June they will be able to sink four new cones; those which have suffered will be repaired before that time. The dykes or moles are only sunk nine feet, instead of fifteen or twenty, which they were reported to be. We hope this grand work will be entirely finished before the expiration of the four years they have allotted for them to be brought to perfection.
Some no less important works are ordered at Brest; they are going to finish the fortifications which are wanting on the land side, which is the only weak part of Brest. They will enclose in these fortifications, an eminence which commands the town, and the old citadel will then serve as a magazine to the port, for which it will be very useful. These works may suspend the buildings; but they are still busy in amassing materials, and new lighters are going to the North, to fetch from thence what is bought there for the King's account.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Beaufort to his friend in this city.
"Our people this way are well inclined towards the new government. I enclose you a copy of an address from the grand jury to the court on the subject."
To the honorable the Court of General Sessions.
After discharging our duty as grand jurors with attention, and we flatter ourselves with fidelity, we avail ourselves of being thus convened to declare our sentiments upon a subject of the greatest magnitude to our state particularly, and to our country generally. To preserve the union of the states we hold to be an indispensable duty incumbent on every citizen of America. With great acknowledgements to the supreme being and heartfelt satisfaction, we view a form of federal government, calculated to answer this salutary purpose, now submitted for their adoption. On this momentous occasion, impelled by zeal for the prosperity of our country, we think it our duty to bear this public testimony of our approbation of a measure which appears to us to have been dictated by the same spirit of liberty which brought about the revolution, and which, in our opinion, has every safeguard which human foresight can suggest for perpetuating the blessings of freedom, tranquility, union, and the prosperity of the whole.

By order of the Society. JOHN BLEAKLEY, Sec. Philadelphia, May 9, 1788.
From the Massachusetts Centinel. Mr. Russel,
A few days since, I was at a friend's house in this town, and while there, some books for him arrived, brought in one of the last ships from London. Among them was one, entitled, "An experimental enquiry into the properties of opium;" written by the celebrated John Leigh, M. D. of Edinburgh. The inscription struck me so forcibly, that I copied it, and if you think it worthy a place in your paper, I will thank you to publish it.
Yours, &c. G.
THE INSCRIPTION. This Treatise is humbly inscribed To GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esquire; A man equally revered By the friends and foes of his country; And whose character will Be transmitted to the latest ages of posterity, For consummate Conduct and Courage, Public and private Virtue. Edinburgh, May 15, 1786.
ANECDOTE OF DEAN SWIFT.
It has been remarked by many of his historians, that the Dean entertained a most virulent hatred to the memory of William the Third; which he often expressed in very bitter terms when in the company of his intimates.
Swift dined one day with several friends of both parties, in Crow-Street, when the conversation turned upon a paraphrase Concanon had lately made, of Prior's celebrated epitaph.—It was as follows:
Hold, Matthew Prior, by your leave, Your epitaph is somewhat odd; Bourbon and you, were sons of Eve, Nassau, the offspring of a God! The Dean shaking his head, said, "let us see whether a man, who is neither a fool nor a parasite, cannot write four lines that will sound as well as those;" and taking Dr. Sheridan's pencil, wrote the following: Hold, friend Concanon, by your leave, Your paraphrase is barely civil; Bourbon and Mat. were sons of Eve, Nassau, the offspring of a Devil!

The Inhabitants of the City of
NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber in-
tends 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 satisfac-
tion to those who may place to employ him, (sig-
nified by their becoming subscribers) as he is deter-
mined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain and
down in the following proposals, which he flatters
himself will meet the approbation and encourage-
ment 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, with fore-
men, to see the business performed.
2d. To allow each a proper district, in such man-
ner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be reg-
ularly swept once every month, (or oftener if requi-
red) 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 of-
fice, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire be-
gin in some other part of the house.
4th. To render the establishment of general pub-
lic 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 conflagration, which too frequently originates in
faulty chimneys, 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
af retail place, and the plan will be begun upon the
second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
