The report that the Porte has resolved to send an Ambassador to Berlin is confirmed. They have already named Ruach Soliman Effendi for that office; he is now in Chians Bassa, and in great favor with the Grand Signior, who often consults him.
LEIPSIG, Jan. 15.
Two reports are circulated here, which may be of great consequence in the present situation of affairs in Europe; the one is, that the Prussian Monarch has declared to the Emperor, "that his Imperial Majesty may employ the troops which are at present in Bohemia and Moravia in any other part he pleases, assuring his Majesty, that those countries shall be protected from all molestation." The other report is, "that the Courts of Sweden and Denmark have concluded a treaty of amity."
NAPLES, Jan. 1.
Last week the eruptions of Mount Vesuvius began again with great fury, and formed two fresh openings. Many naturalists are of opinion, that great part of the summit of the mountain has fallen in.
LONDON, Jan. 24.
The Parisian Medical Society, in their further investigation of the corruption of air, have asserted, that each of that species of insect called a locust, lays upwards of 200 eggs, but that the air is not infected by them. These gentlemen say, that the quantity of corrupt air in Paris, is not less than seven millions of pounds weight every year; in London nine millions ditto!—Some of the gentlemen who were in London, visiting our Hospitals, are of this Society. Particulars relative to the Fight between HUMPHRIES and MENDOZA.
There existed, previous to this contest, a rooted antipathy between the parties, which, during the time it continued, a person, superficially skilled in physiognomy might easily have discovered; in the countenance of Mendoza, there was a kind of contemptuous laugh; on that of Humphries there appeared an implacable hatred of his adversary. Humphries treated the Jew with the greatest indifference before the contest, and declared that he could not possibly suffer it to continue above five minutes. The result of the battle proved this positive assertion erroneous, for he was for the space of 20 minutes perpetually retreating from the impetuosity of the Jew's movements who forced him to every corner of the stage, and gave him a decisive blow, that occasioned the fence of the stage to give way, and by which the back of Humphries was excoriated. In the course of the encounter, Johnson stepped in between the combatants, and prevented Mendoza, following up a blow, which probably might have produced a material turn in the contest. Perhaps the most refined effort of skill, on the part of Mendoza, was prevented, at the period when Humphries jumped up to frustrate the guard; but Mendoza, apprised of his design, stooped, and, in the twinkling of an eye, put in several potent blows on the body of his adversary.
The Jew, in the early part of the contest, exhibited a great share of the vis comica in his aspect; for whenever his opponent missed his aim, he laughed at him with a conscious superiority of his power of defence. Respecting bets, less was lost than was expected, for the knowing tribe edged in the early part of the battle; all the odds that they had laid, were diminished by the temporary success of Mendoza.
In abatement of the exquisite skill displayed in the conflict, we must observe, that Mendoza acted unworthy of himself, for when closed in with Humphries, he screwed his nose, and thrust his knuckles in his eye. This he did, as report says, by way of retaliation; for his antagonist, conscious of his superior strength, frequently endeavored to frustrate the skill of his adversary, by closing in upon him.
Mendoza had obvious disadvantage in the choice of his second, who was greatly inferior in point of stage trick, to the veteran Johnson. Ryan, who recently fought the latter, offered to second Mendoza, which, however, he refused, being more desirous of trusting a Jew than a Christian, on the occasion.
Mendoza, from the blow given him under the ear, swallowed more blood than he evacuated.
The amateurs present, were Col. Fitzpatrick, Capt. Aston, Alderman Newnham, Mr. Shum, and Mr. Hervey Coombe. Mr. Hopner, who executed the portrait of Humphries, was also on the spot. Mr. Bradlyll was in the town, but not a spectator of the action.
The victory of Humphries, is rather to be imputed to the accident of Mendoza's straining his ankle, the anguish of which made him faint, than to the effect of the last blow, however well placed. The Jew finding himself, from the violent extension of the sinews of his leg, which swelled exceedingly, unable to stand, without support,
wisely resigned the palm to his adversary.
Had Mendoza beat Humphries, it was his intention, immediately on his return to town, to have gone before the Lord Mayor, and have made an affidavit, that he would never again fight a pitched battle; but having, from accident, proved unsuccessful, it is generally expected he will again challenge his victorious opponent.
Humphries came from Odiham yesterday, and Mendoza, and his second, David Benjamin (the Jew pastry cook), are hourly expected in Duke's place.
The origin of the dispute between the Jew and Christian boxers, arose from the following circumstance. Some time past, Mendoza, being in want of cash, borrowed 20l. of a gentleman amateur of the science, under the idea of its being a deposit for an intended battle. This coming to the knowledge of Humphries, he waited on the lender, and informed him, that he had been imposed on, no battle being intended; in consequence of this discovery, Mendoza was arrested at the suit of the gentleman, by Humphries, who is a bailiff's follower. This transaction Mendoza never forgave.
Mr. Bradlyll, the patron of Humphries, and who highly esteems him for the decency of his manners, was not present at the battle, but sent his servant to bring him the earliest accounts of the event of the conflict. The messenger arrived in town about nine o'clock with a letter from Humphries, which was delivered to Mr. Bradlyll at Cramer's concert. It was nearly as follows:
"SIR, "I have done the Jew, and am in good health at this present writing.
HUMPHRIES."

Anecdote. A BUTCHER one day ordered his new assistant to brig the victim to the slaughter, who, not observing that his superior was cross-eyed until the very instant he was drawing the blow, cried out in an exclamatory voice, Sir, do you mean to strike where you look? he answered yes: well then, replied the assistant, the D---l may hold the ox.

Mr. HUMPHREYS, You are requested to insert in your paper, from the Independent Gazetteer, Robert Morris's Answer to the unmerited attacks upon him—This request comes from a number of
YOUR SUBSCRIBERS.
8th April.
To the Printer of the Independent Gazetteer, Philadelphia.
Richmond, 21st March, 1788.
SIR,
FROM some of your Gazettes which have lately reached me, and particularly from one of the 13th inst. I find that I am charged as a public defaulter to a very considerable amount. This assertion is made to support a charge against the Federal Constitution, which those writers say is calculated to screen defaulters from justice. Without pretending to enquire whether the Constitution be, in this respect, misunderstood or misrepresented, I readily agree that if, on fair investigation, that fault shall really appear, an amendment ought to be made.
I stand charged in a two-fold capacity: first as a Chairman of Committees of Congress, and secondly as Superintendent of the Finances. But it so happens, that in neither of those capacities did I ever touch one shilling of the public money. At an early period of the revolution, I contracted with the committee to import arms, ammunition and cloathing, and was employed to export American produce, and make remittances, on account of the United States, for the purpose of lodging funds in Europe. To effect these objects I received considerable sums of money. The business has been performed, but the accounts are not yet settled. Among the various causes which have hitherto delayed the settlement, I shall only mention here that I have not yet been able to obtain the required vouchers for delivery of articles in distant parts of America, nor the duplicates of some accounts and other needful papers which were lost at sea during the war. It was my intention to have gone in person to New-York, where alone (since the removal of Congress) this business can be finally adjusted; but circumstances unexpected obliged me to come to this country. I therefore employed a gentleman to proceed on the settlement of those accounts; but during the investigation, obstacles arose which he was not sufficiently acquainted with the transactions to remove; and as some of the deficient vouchers are to be obtained in this State and South-Carolina, he came on hither and is now in pursuit of them. I have indeed been less solicitous on this subject than otherwise I should have been, from the conviction that there is a balance in my favor; so that no charge could justly lie against my reputation. Nor could my interest suffer by the delay; for the date of a certificate to be received for the balance was immaterial.
As Superintendent of the Finances I have no accounts to settle. As I never received any of the public money, none of it can be in my hands. It was received in, and paid from, the public treasury on my warrants. The party to whom it was paid was accountable; and the accounts were all in the treasury office, open (during my administration) to the inspection of every American citizen. The only point of responsibility, therefore, in which I can possibly stand, is for the propriety of issues to others by my authority. It is true, that I caused a statement of the receipts and expenditures to be made and printed, but this was not, by any means, intended
for a settlement with Congress, but to be transmitted by them (if they should think proper) to the several States; for I have ever been of opinion that the people ought to know how much of their money goes into the public treasury, and for what purposes it is issued. Perhaps some persons may remember, that in conformity to this opinion I caused the receipts (even during the war) to be published (monthly) in the Gazettes; and the expenditures, as I have already mentioned, were open to public inspection. This mode of conduct was reprehended by some, and perhaps justly. My fellow citizens will judge whether it looks like the concealment of a public defaulter. As to the suggestion that the United States in Congress were influenced by me to neglect the duty of calling me to account, I shall not attempt to refute it. Every man who feels for the dignity of America, must revolt at such an insult to her representatives.
Before I conclude, I think it necessary to apologise for having written this letter, to all who may take the trouble of reading it. A newspaper is certainly an improper place for stating and settling public accounts, especially those which are already before the proper tribunal. But I thought it in some sort a duty to take notice of charges which, if not controverted, might have influenced weak minds to oppose the Constitution. This was at least the ostensible reason for bringing me forward on the present occasion. With what decency or propriety it has been done, I leave to the reflection of the authors. Their exultation on my "losses and crosses" is characteristic. To every pleasure which can arise from the gratifications of such passions they are heartily welcome; and the more so, as I hope and expect the enjoyment will be of short duration.
