OBSERVATIONS on TUNIS, &c.
(Concluded.)
BISERTA, forty miles north-west of Tunis, is beautifully situated upon a canal between a large lake and the sea, extremely convenient for trade, and surrounded by a fine fertile country, abounding with all the comforts of life. Provided the Moors were industrious, no place would be fitter to become a most capital mart, and carry on a very extensive commerce, being in the center of the Mediterranean. This fine port, for want of a little care, will shortly be in the same situation as Porto Farina.
The mullets of this lake are the largest and best in Barbary; great quantities of their rows dried and made into Botargo are sent from hence into the Levant, where they are accounted a great dainty.
Having now described all the places which I could possibly visit with any degree of safety, I shall only make some few remarks on the air, soil, and produce of the country.
The kingdom of Tunis is supposed to be about 180 miles in length and 200 in breadth; situated in a fine wholesome air and fertile soil, saturated with saline particles of so loose a texture, that very little labor is required in the cultivation of it; a yoke of oxen being sufficient to plough an acre in a day. It produces corn of all kinds, except oats, in the greatest abundance. After the first rains, which generally fall about the tenth of October, and continue, with great violence, for eight or ten days, they begin to sow wheat, and barley, a month later; the harvest falling the latter end of May or the beginning of June. If it rains for two or three days in the beginning of April, the crops are generally secure and the harvests plentiful; but failing of such seasonable showers, which sometime happens for two or three years together, great distress ensues; no magazines of any kind being provided. The entire submission which they pay to the will of God, and their firm reliance on his providence, make them imagine such precautions altogether useless, and even impious.
About the middle of this century, the harvests in the neighboring kingdom of Tripoly having failed for five or six years successively, for want of these latter rains, the inhabitants were reduced to the greatest extremity, and obliged to emigrate in such numbers, that the country was almost depopulated; upwards of sixty thousand having settled in the kingdom of Tunis.
The air all along the coast is pure and wholesome. The hot weather generally sets in the beginning of June, and lasts until the middle of September, being tempered by the constant sea-breeze, that blows from nine in the morning to near sunset.
Winter, if it may be so called, continues only from the middle of December, to the tenth or twelfth of January; the heavy rains at that season rendering the air chilly and raw.
Sometimes in the months of July and August, the wind from the Sahara, or Desart, begins to blow, bringing with it clouds of fine sand, which darken the air, and penetrate into the most secret recesses. The effects of this burning wind, which may be justly compared to the heat issuing from the mouth of an oven, are truly distressful. The usual remedy is to shut the windows and doors, and to sprinkle the floors with vinegar and water. I had the misfortune to experience it during four days. Was it to last much longer, I am sure must sink under this calamity. I exposed a roll of hard pomatum to the air, which, in the course of two hours, melted down as if held before a fire.
This is the Sirocco described by Mr. Brydone in his tour to Sicily and Malta. I have seen it in Palermo and several parts of Italy; but not to be compared with the same fiery wind on the continent, as it loses considerably of its heat and suffocating quality in passing the sea. The Arabs are aware of its approach by a sulphureous smell, and by the redness of the air at the point it blows from; they usually throw themselves on the ground when they perceive it coming, to preserve them from the first blast which they reckon most noxious; saying, Nature has taught the brutes to keep their heads close to the earth when they feel its approach: it is a temporal when such precaution is not taken; and many instances have happened where great numbers in a caravan have perished. It is said to have no effect, until two feet above the ground.
The Arabs recount many marvellous stories concerning this wind; but as they are remarkable for the wonderful and fabulous, little faith is to be given to their narratives.
An useful horse may be had from three to six or seven pounds sterling, but the preference for riding is given to mules, those of this country having fine delicate limbs, and going at a great rate with a motion particularly easy, a recommendation of the first importance in a warm climate. When you wish to travel faster, the custom is to pull the bridle, and they go off at a pace with amazing speed.
The Tunisians have also a breed of asses, much larger and more spirited than most in Europe, many of them fourteen hands high. Horses and mules are dear or cheap in proportion to the barley harvest, as they are fed only with barley and its straw, no oats growing here.
To conclude, the whole coast of Barbary, from the entrance of the Straits of Gibraltar to the confines of Tripoly, is one of the finest and most fertile countries in the world, a-
bounding with every necessary of life, and if in the hands of proper cultivators, capable of being made a granary for Europe.
The reader may rely on this short and simple narration; which is not tricked out with ornaments that often disguise, rather than embellish the truth; neither has the author affected the parade of discussion, and still less, the whim of digression; by which means the journey of a day might be swelled to a large volume. He hopes, however, that the matter will afford some pleasure as well as information to those who are desirous of being acquainted with the present state of a country once so eminent: and should it furnish any hints for the improvement of our commerce with this important state of Barbary, the author will think himself amply gratified.
ROME, May 10.
There has been a popular commotion at Velletri; the rebels amounted to 2000, escorted by 200 Banditti, whom the Cardinal Dean, as Prince Bishop of Velletri, disbanded. We are ignorant of the cause of their complaints, but it seems they are enraged against certain persons. Some of the principal men diverted them from their ill designs by promising the people to represent their grievances to his Holiness on his return.
The Holy Father on his return from Terracina found himself on a sudden surrounded by this multitude, who cried loudly for justice. His Holiness, who was ignorant of what had happened, was greatly surprised, but received the people's supplication, promising to redress their grievances.
LONDON, June 16.
The following regiments are said to be on their march to Brittany, to reinforce the army already in camp:
Infantry Regiments. Poitou and Rouergue, for Rennes. Bouillon, for Lamballe. Royal Swedish, for St. Brieux. Lullin Suisse, for Nantes. Vigier Suisse, for the same place.
Dragoons. Colonel General, for Fougères and Vitre. Chastres, for Ancenis. Which forms in all 14,000 men.
It is reported, there will be two camps formed in France the 15th of September next—the first at Lens, in Picardy; the second in Alsace; the first will be commanded by the Prince de Conde.
JUNE 18.
Monf. Calonne has been seriously talked of, to re-assume his post of Minister. It is said to be by the express wishes of the Queen. How far this may be true, we cannot say. But such a step, if adopted, would no doubt go a great way to allay our dissensions, as we all think that England must have improved, not diminished, its well known zeal for the Rights of Frenchmen. Ten regiments have by this time reached Brittany.
Yesterday morning some dispatches were received from Gibraltar. The garrison was remarkably healthy on the 29th ult. at which time they were in hopes that the dispute with the Emperor of Morocco would shortly be in a train of accommodation; and that they would be supplied with fresh provision from Barbary.
ATTEMPT on the PRINCESS ELIZABETH.
On Saturday afternoon, as the Princess Elizabeth was sitting in her apartment, her Royal Highness was surprised by the abrupt entrance of a stranger of mean appearance. The Princess, exceedingly alarmed, precipitately quitted the room at an opposite door, and related this extraordinary circumstance to the attendants in waiting—Mr. Millar, one of the pages, immediately went to the place, and seized the man, who refused to assign the cause of his being in the Palace, or by what means he obtained admittance. When brought to the Lodge, the Porter asserted he had not the most remote recollection of his entrance or person. The intruder was then suffered to depart, but in a short time returned, and in peremptory terms insisted on being introduced to the Princess—"That he might pour out the ardency of his passion, and at her feet press for an equal return."
He was then detained, and information of this singular occurrence dispatched to Lord Sydney: soon after, a sergeant and party of the guards from the Queen's guard house, took him into custody. On being questioned, he said he was by profession a hair-dresser, and worked with Mr. Warren, in Paved-alley, Pall Mall, and lodged at a hair-dresser's in Castle court in the Strand: Lord Sydney directed him to be taken to the public-office, to be examined by Mr. Addington: the coach stopping in its way to Bow-street, at Paved-alley, on the appearance of his master he spit in his face, and acted in a manner to justify the suspicion before entertained of his being in a state of insanity. On his examination before the magistrate, he said his name was Spang; that his father was by birth a Dane, but he was born in London, near May-Fair.
Being asked by Mr. Addington, if he was in love with the Princess—he answered, that he was in love with all the world.
When questioned how he got into the Palace without being discovered, he exclaimed, "aye, that is the question!"—but refused to answer more on this point. He ridiculed, with much force the porter for not being able to account, in a particular manner, how he obtained entrance. Mr. Warren said Spang had worked for him nearly two years, and left his service about a week ago, without previous notice. He was always an honest industrious man, and never betrayed any marks of a disordered mind, that came within his observation.
Spang appears to be about 27 years of age, rather short, light hair, and fair complexion, shabbily dressed; when searched nothing was found in his pockets of an offensive kind, or even a single half-penny: tears were frequently observed to steal down his cheeks, and he sighed in such a manner as to affect every person present.
He was committed to Tothfields Bridewell, until further directions, and ordered to be kept in a separate apartment, and treated with the utmost tenderness.
It is supposed he got over the wall in the Green Park, into the Queen's gardens, and so entered the Palace, but how he could escape observation, and pass directly to the Princess's apartment, excites general surprise.
Examination of SPANG the Maniac.
Yesterday this unfortunate man was re-examined at Bow-street, by Sir Samson Wright and Mr. Justice Addington, when it was fully apparent, that he is in a state of actual insanity. He called the Dukes of York, Cumberland and Gloucester and the King of Spain his relations; he said the right he had to enter the Queen's palace was through consanguinity; but no inuendo could recall to his mind the smallest idea of the Princess Elizabeth, for whose sake he entered the palace the Saturday before.
It appeared, that his father was an eminent statuary, a Dane by birth, that he was born in London, that he was bred to the business of an hair-dresser, and that Covent Garden parish was his legal settlement. He was insane some years ago, and confined in a house at Bethnal Green. His demeanor, notwithstanding the symptoms of insanity that were evident in him, was mild and gentle: he worked with Mr. Warren a hair-dresser, who spoke well as to his character.
The determination of the Magistrates of Bow-street was to confine him, and provide for him in his parish. Lord John Townshend, and the Hon. Mr. Townsend, son to Lord Sydney, attended the examination.
He appears to be about 30 years of age, of a nervous relaxed constitution; his dress was shabby, that of a working journeyman barber.
The calender of Maniacs runs thus:—In 1786, Mr. Margaret Nicholson, versus the King—in 1787, Mr. Stone, versus the Princess Royal—and in 1788, Mr. Spang, versus the Princess Elizabeth.

WORCESTER, August 14.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at the Muskingham Settlement, to the Printer of the Massachusetts Spy, dated July 14, 1788.
"On the 12th inst. a party of Indians, the number uncertain, attacked the guard posted for the protection of the stores and goods lately sent up the Muskingham for the treaty, killed two of the guard and a mulatto servant of Mr. Dunken; one other of the guard is badly wounded, and two missing, but whether taken or not is uncertain. One Indian was left dead on the ground, and it is supposed several were wounded. About an hour after the attack, a number of the Delaware tribe came into the guard with their wives and children; they say the dead Indian is a Tawawa of Chappaqua. This is the substance of the officer's letter to General Harmer."
"The place where the goods were between 70 and 80 miles up the river, on the west side. The guard consisted of about 30 men, under the command of Lieut. M'Dole; it is about three weeks since they were sent up, to build a Council House, or Bower, and cellars to secure the goods from the weather; for the Indians having complained that we did not meet them on equal ground, the Commissioners had determined, for once, to try their good faith, and meet them without the protection of a military force; and as the treaty was to be held at the special request of the Indians, there could be no reason to expect an attack of this sort, nor is it believed to be done by the knowledge or approbation of the Indians in general; but on the contrary, it is supposed to be a party of lawless wretches, who are outcasts from their own tribes, and who have associated together for the purposes of mischief: But be this as it may, it is such a piece of business as will prevent the treaty being held until satisfaction is demanded for so gross an insult:—In the mean time the goods are ordered down to this place, and boats set off last evening for that purpose. What will be the final consequence no man can tell—however, my opinion is, that the issue will be to our advantage; for on the one hand, if government behave with that firmness and dignity which they ought, the culprits will be delivered up to punishment, or an Indian war ensue; if the first is done, the savages will be more careful how they offend in time to come; and if the latter takes place, there is every human probability to believe it will end in the destruction or expulsion of them in such a manner as that none shall be left to make us afraid."
"Governor St. Clair arrived here last Wednesday."
LANSINGBURGH, August 11.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman on his way to New-York, dated Albany, August 8, to his friend in this town.
"This morn about nine I arrived here, and found the streets already thronged with people. The gentlemen which, I suppose, form the federal committee, were extremely active in forming the procession, which moved from a field a little north of town. I chose a station in market-street, through which the procession passed, from whence I could observe it to great advantage. It was conducted with the utmost regularity—order seemed the presiding genius of the day—of which my stay here will not admit a recital—Let it at present suffice to say, that the different ranks and professions, preceded by ensigns, expressive of their different orders, moved through Market and State streets, with a degree of silence and order seldom known in such a multitude. All was elegant beyond expression. There were to be seen stages on which all the different mechanical arts of the city were actually following their trades; and from the best observations I could make they wrought to no small advantage, even while they moved in procession. I have seen many processions in Europe, but none performed with such singular brilliancy and activity as this—They all deserved the highest encomiums, but in particular a stage of nailers , the workmen consisted of youths, to appearance about 11 or 12 years of age—They indeed showed a dexterity truly surprising; neither was it easy to distinguish which best understood his business. As seeing these—Happy America (exclaimed I) if thy morning shine to conspicuous, what will thy meridian splendor produce! Thy childhood is a pattern for the aged nations of the east. The spectators were very numerous, and I could observe flushes of alternate joy and surprise in almost every countenance. The procession moved to the green above the city, where under a truly American summer house, composed of green pines, they partook, like a company of brothers, as truly American dinner, in which numbers of spectators joined." &c. &c.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 19.
On Friday last, the remains of Mrs. THIBOU, wife of Mr. Thibou, of Antigua, and daughter of Mr. Forbes of Waterton, one of the most respectable families in Scotland; were deposited in the family vault of Mr. Daniel Ludlow, in Trinity Church yard, attended by a large concourse of her countrymen, and several of the most respectable citizens. This lady was coming to this city for her health, with her son, Dr. Thibou, and two daughters, on board of the Hercules, Captain Russell, and died the fourth day after she embarked, but was preserved by her affectionate son in a hoghead of rum for three weeks, till the vessel arrived. We are informed by those who had the pleasure of knowing her, whilst in Scotland—that to all the accomplishments acquired by one of the first educations, she added every virtue which adorns the Christian—every qualification necessary for an affectionate wife and indulgent mother. It would be ungenerous not to mention, that the family have expressed in the strongest manner, the kindness and particular attention of the Captain, who did every thing that a man of feeling and humanity could do, to assist Mrs. Thibou whilst alive, and to console the family after her death.
Extracts from the Journal of CONGRESS.
JULY 15, 1788.
THE Committee consisting of Mr. Clark, Mr. Dane, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Carrington, and Mr. Wingate, to whom was re-committed their report on a motion of the delegates of Georgia, and an act of the legislature of that state, passed February 18, 1788, for ceding a part of the territorial claims of the said state to the United States, having reported,
"That the said state, by the act aforesaid, has authorised her delegates in Congress, to convey to the United States, the territorial claim of the said state, to a certain tract of country bounded as follows, to wit; Beginning at the middle of the river Catahouche, or Apalachicola, where it is intersected by the thirty-first degree of North latitude, and from thence due north one hundred and forty British statute miles; thence due West, to the middle of the river Mississippi; thence down the said river to where it intersects the thirty-first degree of North latitude; and thence along the said degree to the place of beginning, annexing the privileges and conditions following, to wit, First, That the United States in Congress assembled, shall guarantee to the citizens of the said territory a republican form of government, subject only to such change as may take place in the federal constitution of the United States. Secondly, That the navigation of all the waters included in the said cession, shall be equally free to all the citizens of the United States, nor shall any tonnage on vessels, or any duties whatever, be laid on any goods, wares or merchandise that may pass up or down the said waters, unless for the use and benefit of the United States. Thirdly, That the sum of one hundred and seventy-one thousand four hundred and twenty-eight dollars and forty-five ninetieths of a dollar, which has been expended in quieting the minds of the Indians and resisting their hostilities, shall be allowed as a charge against the United States, and be admitted in payment of the specie requisitions of that State's quotas that have been or may be required by the United States. Fourthly, That in all cases where the state may require defence, the expenses arising thereon shall be allowed as a charge against the United States, agreeably to the articles of confederation: And Fifthly, That Congress shall guarantee and secure all the remaining territorial rights of the state, as pointed out and expressed by the definitive treaty of peace between the United States and Great Britain, the convention between the said state and the state of South-Carolina, entered into the 28th day of April, 1787, and the clause of an act of the said state of Georgia, describing the boundaries thereof, passed the 17th day of February, 1783."
The committee having fully considered the subject referred to them, are of opinion that the cession offered by the state of Georgia, cannot be accepted on the terms proposed. 1st. Because it appears highly probable that on running the boundary line between that state and the adjoining state or states, a claim to a large tract of country extending to the Mississippi, and lying between the tract proposed to be ceded, and that lately ceded by South-Carolina, will be retained by the said state of Georgia, and therefore the land which the state now offers to cede must be too far removed from any other lands hitherto ceded to the Union, to be of any immediate advantage to it. 2d. Because there appears to be due from the state of Georgia, on specie requisitions, but a small part of the sum mentioned in the third proviso or condition before recited, and it is improper in this case to allow a charge against the specie requisitions of Congress which may hereafter be made, especially as the said state stands charged to the United States for very considerable sums of money loaned: And 3d. Because the fifth proviso or condition before recited, contain a special guarantee of territorial rights, and such a guarantee as has not been made by Congress to any state, and which, considering the spirit and meaning of the confederation, must be unnecessary or improper.—But the committee are of the opinion, that the first, second and fourth provisos before recited, and also the third, with some variations, may be admitted; and that should the said state extend the bounds of her cession, and vary the terms thereof, as herein after mentioned, Congress may accept the same—whereupon they submit the following resolutions:
"That the cession of claims to Western territory, offered by the state of Georgia, cannot be accepted on the terms contained in her act, passed the first of February last."
"That in case the said state shall authorise her delegates in Congress to make a cession of all her territorial claims to lands West of the river Apalachicola, or West of a meridian line, running through or near the point where that river intersects the thirty-first degree of North latitude, and shall omit the last proviso in her said act, and shall so far vary the proviso respecting the sum of one hundred and seventy-one thousand four hundred and twenty-eight dollars and forty-five ninetieths of a dollar, expended in quieting and resisting the Indians, as that the said state shall have credit in the specie requisitions of Congress to the amount of her specie quotas on the past requisitions, and for the residue in her account with the United States for monies loaned, Congress will accept the cession."
Resolved, That Congress agree to the said report.

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 those who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain 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 the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys 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 above-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 foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, no 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.
To be Let,
A Commodious STORE, with a ROOM behind it, and other conveniences, situate next door to Messrs. Robert and Peter Bruce, in Front-street; immediate possession will be given, and if more agreeable, the person may have the whole house. Enquire on the premises. July 22.
