COPENHAGEN, October 4. Intelligence was received here on the 1st inst. that the Norwegian army, under the command of the prince of Hesse, has passed the Swedish frontier; that the Swedish officer at the first post having retired, the Danes took possession of Stromfjord on the 26th of September; that the Swedes having afterwards received a reinforcement, were determined to make a stand against the Danes, who had advanced about fifteen miles into the country; and as these corps were very near each other, the news of an action is daily expected. We also learn that another column of Danish troops has penetrated near to Udevalla, a handsome town, about forty English miles from Gottenburgh.
Yesterday the combined fleet, consisting of three Russian first rates, four Russian and three Danish ships of the line, two frigates, and two store-ships, sailed from this port for the Baltic, having about 2000 men on board.
LONDON, October 14. Advice is this instant received of a general and bloody engagement between the Imperialists and the Grand Vizier's army; the conflict was dreadful; the palm of victory was very obstinately contended for, and the event was long doubtful. It terminated, however, in the defeat of the Ottoman army. The emperor was the whole time in the hottest part of the battle, had two horses shot under him, and received a wound in the shoulder, but it is not thought to be dangerous. It is probable this decisive engagement will put a period to the campaign.
The carriage was uncommonly great on both sides; the number of Turks killed and wounded is prodigious.
Letters were yesterday received in the city from Mr. Fenwick, his majesty's consul at Elsinore, which state, that 6000 Danish auxiliary troops, on their march to Udevalla from Fredericksburg, had fallen in with 600 Swedes, who, disputing their passage, a skirmish ensued, when ten Swedes were killed, and the remainder taken prisoners.
The approaching assembly of the states general, forms the principal topic of conversation. It is expected that M. Calonne will then meet M. Necker, and defend himself from the charges brought against him. He has pledged himself to attend on that occasion and for that purpose, if his majesty will give him unequivocal proofs of protection.
Friday morning the secretary at the India house received a letter from the master of Lloyd's Coffee-house, acquainting him, that the Vestal frigate had arrived at Plymouth the 8th instant. This vessel took out Col. Cathcart, lately deceased, as a passenger, who was going ambassador from England to the Emperor of China. The death of this gentleman is much to be regretted, as great hopes were entertained of his settling a commercial treaty, highly beneficial to the manufactures of this kingdom, particularly the woolen branch; the ambassador having several bales of superfine cloths, &c. as presents from the East India company.
Col. Cathcart was brother to lord Cathcart, and a member of the house of commons for the borough of Clackmannanshire, in Scotland, which is now become vacant.
OCTOBER 16. By a gentleman who arrived on Friday from Copenhagen, we are informed that the court of Denmark has been hitherto stopped in joining vigorously with Russia against Sweden, by the sole mediation of his Britannic majesty, who is much respected by his nephew the prince royal. The Empress, however, has been pretty liberal in her presents to the leading men in that kingdom, besides promising an addition of territory to the Dane, should he step boldly forward. "What is singular," adds this gentleman, "is, that the king though accounted pusillanimous, is eager for the war; while the prince, although brave, active, and wise, is only for keeping strictly to the treaty between that nation and Russia, although he is at the same time zealous in recruiting the army, and enlarging the navy."
CHARLESTON, Nov. 26. Yesterday afternoon ended the election of a member for Charleston district to the house of representatives in Congress; 30 members of the house of representatives, and two senators for Charleston district, in the general assembly. Owing to the uncommon number of voters at this election, it is probable it will be several days before the favored candidates can be declared.
BOSTON, Dec. 3. It must excite the ribbles of every federal American to be informed, that the legislature of Rhode-Island, in their late session, issued an Act , to know of their constituents, whether they wish to instruct their deputies, to appoint delegates to meet in a general convention, for the purpose of amending a constitution ; they had none, and in forming, while the above excites laughter, another passage in the above mentioned resolution, must raise contempt: it is where these legislators say, that they are willing to be connected with the other states , if it can be done on the principles of good government . What is their idea of good government? Undoubtedly a paper-money, tender laws, leveling government . But are the people of America willing to be connected with them, in such a government? No—and, but for the few worthy citizens they contain—in any.
"For where the human law that binds the knave" "Or impious villain to be just or good?" MARRIED—Last evening, Mr. J. H. LAUGHER, Barnard de Tally, to Miss HANNAH MINOT, second daughter of Mr. Samuel Minot, of this town.
CARLISLE, Nov. 19. In the storm on the 10th inst. a new two story stone building, the property of Mr. John Heap, merchant, of Shippingburgh, was blown down or destroyed till within four or six feet of the ground.
Dec. 3. Last week arrived here from Hartford in Connecticut, a number of recruits, being of that state's quota, under the command of lieut. Pratt—and on Monday departed from hence to join the troops on the frontier.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 12.
Yesterday arrived the ship Everett , Barron, from Liverpool, in 40 days; sloop Newbern Packet, Sandy, Newbern; Dolphin , Cehart , Unity , Watson , and Philadelphia and N. Y. Packet, Alberion, Philadelphia. Same day cleared out at the custom-house, the brig Dolphin , Jenkins, for West-Indies.
The honorable Beverly Randolph, esq. lieutenant governor of the commonwealth of Virginia, hath, by proclamation, dated the 25th ult. made known to all persons whom it may concern, that the time for appointing electors to choose a president of the United States is fixed to be on the first Wednesday in January next, and the time for choosing representatives of that commonwealth in Congress, on the second day of February next; and that the places appointed for holding the said elections, are the court houses of the several counties.
The brig Catherine , Capt. Hay, of Leith, from Savannah, bound to Kingston Jamaica, on the 16th of November, at night, was cast away on the Hogfies, near Hilpianiola, the vessel and cargo lost. The crew took to the boats, and were taken up soon after by Capt. Moffat, in the brig Sukei , of Burlington, and arrived at Philadelphia a few days ago.
ARRET of the French King's Council, concerning a repeal of the regulations ordered by that of the 16th of August, for paying by bills one part of the annuities and other expenses of the state.
September 14, 1788. Extracted from the registers of the state. THE King being informed of the alarm that had been spread among his subjects, and in foreign countries by the arrest, which authorizes the royal treasury and the public banks to pay in bills at one year's date, one part of the annuities on the Hotel de Ville, of the dividends on the different stocks, of the salaries of office, of the expenses of the different departments, of wages, and many other annual charges, his majesty has been furnished with an account of the situation of his finances, in order to know if it was prudent to repeal an act that he had adopted with very great reluctance. His minister has not dissembled as to the critical state in which he has found his affairs; but he has observed, nevertheless, that in retarding a little the payments left pressing, by attending particularly to the whole of the receipt and expenditure, and by making every part of the finance tend to the same end, there would only be wan a limited extension of credit, to wait without disorder the meeting of the States-General. Since his majesty, guided by the constant love he bears the public good, proposes to hasten that meeting, and to inform it immediately of the state of his finances; this solemn epoch, where all ought to be encouraged, where all ought to take fresh vigor, will put an end for ever to the alarms of monied men, and re-establish credit, by procuring successively the means of satisfying it on every ordinary occasion, for it must be certain that the representatives of the nation and most generous nation would not separate, before having concurred effectually to establish a perfect agreement between the receipts and expenditure of the state. His majesty has already taken a cursory view of the means in his power to promote this desirable end, and in a manner, not to burthen some to his faithful subjects, and has desired to have laid before him, all the vouchers proper to guide his determinations, and has said, that if new sacrifices on his part are necessary, he would consent to them without regret, and that he desires above all to contribute to the happiness and peace of his people. To which, being willing to assent, according to the report made to the royal council of finances and commerce.
The King being in his council, has ordered, and does order, that all the annuities, either perpetual or on time, all the interests due by his majesty, all the wages, salaries, and all the expenses of the different departments; and, in short, all the expenditures shall continue to be paid in full in cash, as heretofore, out of his majesty's treasury.
Done in the King's council, in his majesty's presence, held at Versailles the 14th September, 1788. (Signed) Laurient de Villedeux .

MR. CHILD'S. THE asperities contained in Dr. Bailey's affidavit, I am sensible, must have proceeded wholly from Dr. Wright Post's representation of the affair to him, as appears by his very extraordinary deposition, together with Dr. McKnight's omission of the postscript to my letter, which entirely exculpated Dr. Bailey as having advised or abetted in the publications which have been alluded to. A regard for the absent, prevents me at this time, from bringing Dr. Bailey in question, which shall remain until his return, when I shall personally demand an explanation. Before I dismiss this subject, I would wish to inform the public, that I am sorry Mr. Post has not paid more attention to what he really ought to have declared in his affidavit, when he asserts that I told him I expected a reward from Dr. McKnight if I would trace to him the source of the attempts against his character, and that letters had passed between us previous to those that were exhibited to the public in consequence of these assertions; it is therefore his business to reconcile the contradiction contained in it, when there does not appear by the letters published, that I ever had an interview with Dr. McKnight previous to this period, neither did there ever appear to have been but the one letter wrote, and more so when I assure the public that Mr. Post has so far forgot what he really swore to in the affidavit, that when I called on him last Tuesday evening, he declared to me, that he never recollected that I even told him that I expected a reward from Dr. McKnight.

At a Court of Probates of the State of New-York, held at the Probate-Office, in the City of New-York, on the sixteenth Day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight.
PRESENT, The Honorable PETER OGILVIE, Esq. Judge of the said Court.
WHEREAS Jacob Everton, surviving executor of the last will and testament of Nicholas Everton, late of South-Arney, in the county of Middlesex, and state of East New Jersey, deceased, hath by his petition, presented to the said Judge, set forth, that the said Nicholas Everton was, at the time of his death, seized of a real estate, within this state; that the petitioner hath made a just true and account of the personal estate and debts of the said Nicholas Everton as far as he had been able to discover the same, and that thereby it appeared that the personal estate of the said Nicholas Everton, was insufficient to pay his debts, and therefore requested the aid of the said Judge in the premises, according to the directions of the act, entitled "An act for the relief of creditors against heirs, devisees, executors and administrators, and for proving wills respecting real estates;" and the said petitioner hath delivered to the said Judge the account in the said petition mentioned; hereupon it is ordered by the said Judge, that all persons interested in the estate of the said Nicholas Everton, do appear before the Judge of the said court of probates at the probate-office, in the city of New-York, on the fifth day of February next, to show cause, if any they have, why so much of the real estate whereof the said Nicholas Everton died seized, should not be sold, as will be sufficient to pay his debts. 4wt PETER OGILVIE.

To the Public.
AN attempt having been made by a certain person, to occasion a belief of his having my receipt for preparing the SPECIFIC SOLUTION; I do solemnly declare, that no one (except a gentleman of the medical line, in the state of Maryland, whose honor I could rely on for keeping it to himself) ever had from me the receipt; that the discovery is entirely my own, made during my residence in the island of St. Kitts, where I had under my care (as surgeon to the estates of the Hon. John Julius, Esq. and general Mathew) upwards of 500 negroes, for more than two years; that during my practice on those estates seventy-four Venereal patients came under my care, that the Specific Remedy was the only one used, and that it never failed me: To prove which, any gentleman is heartily welcome to peruse a certificate given me by the Hon. John Julius, on my resigning the practice of the estates.—As a regular bred Surgeon, I never should have offered a nostrum to the public, but being a very sickly person, rendered by disease incapable of attending much to my door practice, I could not conceive it derogatory to the dignity of physical character to bring home that business which want of health would not allow my attending abroad. The public may rest assured that no person has my receipt for the preparing the Specific Remedy, and will therefore guard against its being intruded on them as such. S H E E D, Nov. 14. No. 70, Cherry-street.
Specific Solution.
PROVED fully (even in this city) to be the easiest and most effectual remedy ever yet discovered for the cure of the Venereal Disease, has been had only at No. 70, opposite No. 9, Cherry-street.
The terms of (no cure no pay) on which this valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced it virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch or its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Sept. 25.
STARCH & HAIR POWDER.

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a rough thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and funk along side laid wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crossfield, Wm. Rhinelander.

Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York,
For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office prevents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of them till an accident happens, the bare-faced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.
FIRST RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls carried twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3/, deposit, 12/, total, 15/.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4/, deposit, 16/, total, 20/.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5/, deposit, 1/, total, 16/.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6/, deposit, 1/, total, 17/.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed houses, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds, shall be, for seven years—premium, 7/, deposit, 1/, total, 18/.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8/, deposit, 1/, total, 19/.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10/, deposit, 2/, total, 21/.
The experience therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:
  Premium on £. 500 at 7/ per cent. £. 1 15 0   Deposit, at 2/6 per cent. 7 0 0   Policy and badge, 0 10 0   £. 1 32 0 
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0
Which shews the expence of insuring £. 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing a sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or businesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, ship chandlers, tallow chandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or coarlemen; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN FINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street. Dec. 2, 1788.
