Vienna, Feb. 27. We learn by letters from Venice, that the Turkish Squadron, which has been at anchor since the beginning of January in the small Gulph of Cattaro, sailed out of it the 6th inst. The Pacha of Negropont, who commands it, caused it to be reported at first that he was going to quit the Adriatic; notwithstanding which he was seen cruising on the 12th off the island of Melida, opposite Scutari. We are still ignorant of the design of the Turks in this cruise, but probably they only come to prevent any Russian privateer from sailing from the port of Trieste.
From the LONDON GAZETTE.

Extract of a letter from Brussels, March 2.
The Brabantines have at length submitted. The Chancellor had been among the foremost to agree to the commands of the Sovereign. The conditions are, however, neither disgraceful nor unfavorable to the people. All the recruits as they are raised in the Low Provinces are brought here, and trained and disciplined; so that the city begins to look very warlike. All the levies will not, however, be sent into Germany; some of them will be incorporated among the corps now stationed in Flanders.
March 27. Although no American Agent is stationed at the court of Lisbon, we understand that a treaty of commerce has been agitated through the means of Mr. Adams, with the Portuguese and the United States. The only obstacle to its accomplishment respects the introduction of American wheat into Portugal, and the establishment of a free port in one of the Western Islands.
These are points anxiously stipulated on the part of Congress, but declared by the Portuguese Government to be incompatible with the treaties in existence with other powers, who are unquestionably to enjoy whatever may be conceded by any subsequent arrangements. The pride of that court seems a little hurt by the disrespect which has been shown to it by the Americans, and the Queen jocularly observes, that as she was always a Whig in her heart, the United States, in their rage for appointing Envoys and Ambassadors, might have favored her with a visit.
The Spaniards have at length agreed to suffer the Russian fleet to enter the Mediterranean - this was brought about, by the interference of the French Court.
By the last mail from France intelligence was received (the authenticity as well as the probability of which, however, is doubted) that the French Court had just received an overland express from India, with the important advice, that in the beginning of December last, on the arrival of the accounts sent from England of the likelihood of a rupture with France, the Governor of Madras took sudden possession of Pondicherry.
The above paragraph is copied from a paper of yesterday; but not withstanding the doubts expressed as to its authenticity and probability, the following confirmation of it we have received from a Correspondent on whose veracity we can rely:
Authentic intelligence has been received by Administration, that Sir Archibald Campbell took Pondicherry in three days after the arrival of the courier, who carried the dispatches announcing the probability of a war with France. How the French Cabinet may relish this, we pretend not to say; — of the fact we have no doubt.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, Feb. 7.
"Four American vessels are arrived in the Porte with cargoes of rice, which sell much cheaper than either the Egyptian or Italian rice, notwithstanding the length of the passage. These ships, whose cargoes are about 1000 tons, will be cleared directly, and sent back for the same commodity, on account of the government, who buy all the corn and grain they can lay hands on. The Vizir Ali Achmet B. Tani, is preparing to set off for the army in Moldavia, with a reinforcement of men, and some purses of gold to be distributed among the soldiery. The imperialists on that side make great strides, but our army is now so strong as must give them a very severe check shortly. Public prayers are put up in all the mosques for success on the war. The Grand Seigneur, with his attendants, went yesterday to the mosque of San Sophia, under the royal banner, where a grand service was performed which took up seven hours; during which the Emperor of the Ottomans was never off his knees, and lay prostrate great part of the time."
The Emperor has taken into his pay 4000 German troops belonging to the Duke of Wirttemberg. The terms are the same as were proposed to our Ministry during the last war.
Tuesday morning some dispatches were received from Philadelphia, brought over in the Mary, Captain Walcot, which is arrived at Plymouth.
NEW-BERN, (North-Carolina) April 2.

The majority of the delegates who were elected, in almost every county from which we have been able to obtain a return, have promised that the preservation of the civil and religious rights and liberties of their fellow-citizens, declared and secured under our present government, would be the ruling principle of their conduct.
WILMINGTON, April 30.
A few days ago, I was informed of a very extraordinary occurrence, in the lower part of Maryland. A thief had stolen a Hog and tied its legs together after killing it, and for convenience in carrying it, he let the hog rest on his shoulders, while the rope it was tied with, went over his breast. On his way home finding himself somewhat fatigued, he laid the hog in the crotch of a tree, about the height of his shoulders, in order to rest himself, but by chance the hog slipped through, and the rope that was about his breast slipped up to his throat, and immediately choked him to death, and in the morning they were both found dead, one on one side and the other on the other side of the tree. Thus the thief hanged the hog, and the hog, by the rule of lex talionis , hanged the thief in his turn.

MR. CHILDS,
The Grand Jury, having requested and obtained of his Honor, the Mayor, a copy of his charge, delivered to them at the opening of the General Sessions of the Peace, for this City and County; you are requested to publish the same.
By order of the Grand Jury. THOMAS IVERS, Foreman. New-York, May 9, 1788.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
THIS city since the restoration of peace hath been eminently distinguished for order and tranquillity; a blessing which can only accompany reverence for the laws. Much is it to be lamented that her reputation has been so greatly sullied by the late tumultuous and dangerous riot.
Those who gave the provocation have much to answer for, and deserve the odium under which they have fallen. Their misconduct cannot be palliated by alledging that it was necessary, as a means of improvement in a useful science; since it is acknowledged that a few subjects are sufficient for all the purposes of instruction; and that those might have been obtained without offence. Nor is it a justification that no injury can be done to an inanimate corpse moulder into dust. We are to consider its effects with regard to society.
Men seem prompted by their very nature to an earnest desire that their deceased friends may be decently interred, and rest undisturbed in the grave. This is a sentiment which equally influences the enlightened citizen and the untutored savage. Who, indeed, without grief and indignation, could bear to have a tender connexion torn from the tomb and exposed to the process of dissection? To say that it would not be felt as an injury, must bespeak an ignorance of the human heart. It is a gross trespass upon the rights of those to whom the cemetery belongs, and actionable.
With respect to the public, as it has a direct tendency to excite animosity, discontent and revenge; and as it is indecent and contrary to those good manners, which are essential to the well-being of every community, it is criminal and punishable in the ordinary course of justice.
To such a tribunal, it was the duty of the people to have submitted the redress of this grievance.
But by rushing into riot and violence, and obstinately persisting to the last extremity, even to occasion the shedding of blood, they have committed an offence, far more serious and alarming than that of which they complained; an offence striking at the very foundation of all government and security. To every civilized country, such an event would be a reproach, but how much more so to a land of liberty, where all power and office are derived from the people themselves, where the law, and not the will of the ruler is supreme; and where it is emphatically the government of the very people who attempt to destroy its influence, and render it contemptible.
If there should be no subordination or obedience, and no energy or public virtue to vindicate and maintain rightful authority, what would avail the high privileges, for which, at every hazard, we have successfully contended? What the best Constitution, or the most excellent system of laws, tho' administered with the utmost purity? If on every gust of passion, individuals should be suffered to recur to acts of riot and revenge, all the blessings we enjoy must become precarious; every man in his turn might fall a victim to blind rage, and innocence itself, as we have lately seen, afford no protection. Besides, our maritime situation ought to rouse us to a peculiar sense of the danger of such convulsions. As the seat of an extensive commerce, we are continually exposed to an influx of loose, strangers; who, having nothing to lose eagerly join the throng, are foremost in mischief, and lead on to every act of desperation without scruple or regret.
We are therefore under the highest obligations to set our faces against such excesses, and resolutely restrain them by all the means in our power.
Wherever licentiousness becomes habitual, that society must swiftly hasten to a miserable dissolution.
These are serious reflections, but they are founded in experience—that it should ever be necessary to inculcate them from this bench, must give pain to all who love
their country, or wish for its honor and stability.
An indiscriminate censure of the citizens at large is not intended. It would be unjust. Great numbers, amidst these commotions, did their duty and deserve praise. To those, who, shutting their ears against the most pathetic remonstrances, in open defiance of the Magistrates, preferred the gratification of an extravagant resentment to the public good, they are but too applicable.
You, Gentlemen, may probably think yourselves relieved from the weight of investigating these offences. They have already employed the attention of a respectable Grand Jury, under the direction of the Supreme Court, which is just risen, and a diffidence of their discernment or diligence, would be an ill return for the great pains they have exerted in a faithful execution of their office. I cannot therefore charge them as express subjects for your enquiry.
The principal object which I have in view, is to introduce an earnest recommendation that you will unite with your Magistrates in enforcing on men, misguided by unruly passions, the indispensable necessity of a more prudent, temperate, and dutiful conduct, that such outrages may never be reiterated, but remembered with abhorrence, and serve as an example for their admonition—That medical students, who are culpable, may be taught to restrain from a practice which is in itself penal, and in the public estimation repugnant to humanity; and be satisfied that experiments, only to be obtained by drawing down the hatred and contempt of their fellow citizens, are inconsistent with their true interest, as they are disgraceful to a liberal profession. That all may be convinced of the extreme danger and folly of arrogating, or suffering others to arrogate the office of avengers; and that it is their dearest privilege, that it belongs only to the Magistrate to punish offences according to the known rules of law.
They will then entertain sentiments worthy of the citizens of a free Republic.—From principle, they will become watchful for the public peace, seeing how intimately it is connected with the common safety and their own preservation; they will become strenuous supporters of the laws as their best birthright; and they will wisely refer their wrongs to the tribunals of justice, appointed to redress the injured and punish the guilty.
Gentlemen, A complaint of the breach of the privileges of the Minister of the United Netherlands, residing in this city, hath been officially communicated to me, with a request that proper measures may be taken for his satisfaction.
As this is a new case, arising from our elevation to the rank of a Sovereign Republic, it will require explanation.
The law of nations, which regulates the conduct of independent States towards each other, protects foreign Ministers and their retinue and domestics from arrest, even for just debts, and on processes otherwise legal. Their houses also are rendered inviolable. This immunity is founded in reason, for whatever is subject to the control of laws, is dependent on the power by which they were ordained; but an Ambassador ought to be independent of every power but that which he represents. It is easy to perceive that on any other principle the free exercise of his functions might be controled, and his mission rendered useless.
In many of the nations of Europe, particular judicatories are appointed to enforce in a summary way, and by severe penalties, the law of nations in this respect. Until the reign of Queen Anne we find no instance recorded in England of the violation of this privilege. At that period the Ambassador of Peter the Great, Czar of Muscovy, was arrested for a debt. The affront was highly resented, the Czar requiring that the sheriff and all concerned in the arrest should be punished with instant death. This demand could not but be rejected; it was not only sanguinary in itself, but there was no law to justify a compliance.
On this occasion, effectually to prevent such aggressions for the future, it was enacted by the statute of the 7th Anne, ch. 12th, that all persons concerned in any process which might entrench upon the immunities of a foreign Minister or his domestics, should on conviction before the Chancellor and Chief Justices; by confession or the oath of one witness, be deemed violators of the law of nations and disturbers of the public peace, and suffer such penalties and corporal punishments as that tribunal should think fit to inflict. But altho' the common law of England, which recognizes the privileges of Ambassadors in their full force, is expressly adopted by our Constitution, this statute can have no operation here, having never extended to us before or since the revolution; nor hath any provision been made on this subject, either by the Congress of the United States, or our own internal Legislature.
I have taken this notice of the Statute

of Anne, to meet an opinion which has been entertained that an infringement of the privileges of an Ambassador, is subject to the penalties which that Statute prescribes.
I proceed to state the circumstances of the complaint and the law which arises upon it.
It appears in proof that not long since, one James Van Antwerp was retained as a coachman in the service of the Minister of the United Netherlands. Shortly afterwards near the Minister's door, and while busy in his service, he was arrested for a small debt by one of the constables, on a warrant which had been issued by a magistrate before such retainer. Van Antwerp apprised the constable that he was the Minister's servant and insisted on his privilege of exemption from arrest. He was nevertheless pursued by the constable into the Minister's house, and even to the door of his library, an apartment in the second story. Here the constable seized Van Antwerp by the collar, and tho' repeatedly forbidden by the Minister, violently dragged him down the stairs, and treated the Minister himself personally with outrage and insult; and finally the interposition of a Magistrate was necessary to restore order and rescue the prisoner out of his hands.
This is the nature of the case, and satisfaction having been formally demanded, it is become a subject of national concern: you will therefore find it your duty to give it a full and candid discussion.
The facts being proved, the manner and degree of punishment will depend on the common law; the crime on the law of nations, which as I before observed, is adopted by the common law. The arrest will then be deemed, an unauthorized and illegal act, and consequently false imprisonment and an assault and breach of the peace, aggravated by the violation of the privileges of the Minister and the wanton insolence which accompanied it, and in this view it will be indictable and on conviction punishable by fine and imprisonment.
Gentlemen. Notwithstanding the Supreme Court is so lately risen, beside those of an inferior degree, three capital crimes will fall under your consideration, to wit: passing counterfeit money of the emission of this State, burglary, and grand larceny. The first is an offence which hath prevailed to so great a degree, as to subject the citizens to innumerable frauds and even to threaten the credit of a paper medium; and yet, tho' uncommon pains have been taken, it has hitherto been impracticable to restrain it by examples of just severity. The detection of the counterfeit paper happens daily: but the gift of this crime lies in the Scienter ; that is the previous knowledge of the person who passed the bill that it was counterfeit; a fact extremely difficult to be proved. This being the criterion, you will have it carefully in view. The mere passing counterfeit money can be no offence. Such is the proficiency of this pernicious art, that it frequently imposes on men of discernment, and much oftener on the incautious and illiterate in spite of the purity of their intentions.
Burglary also is a heinous offence, from the terror which it naturally inspires and the fatal consequences to which it leads.
It consists in breaking and entering into a mansion or dwelling house by night with intent to commit a felony. In prosecuting your enquiries under this head, four circumstances call for attention—the time—the place—the manner—the intent. 1st. The act must be committed in the night time. If there be sufficient light to discern a man's countenance, there can be no burglary; but this doth not extend to moon-light, however bright and luminous.
2dly. It must be committed in a mansion or dwelling house, and not in a ware-house, stable or the like; for there midnight terror cannot be inspired, yet if the ware-house or stable are part of the mansion house, tho' not under the same roof, a burglary may be committed.
3dly. There must be both a breaking and entering. To take out or break a glass, open a window, pick a lock, or open it with a key; even to lift up a latch of a door, or unloose any other fastening; to come down a chimney; to knock at the door and rush in; any of these is a breaking in the sense of the law.
4thly. The intent is carefully to be examined. To distinguish it from a trespass, the breaking and entering must be accompanied with a design to commit a robbery, murder, rape, or other felony: whether they are actually perpetrated or not is immaterial.
The third capital offence is grand larceny, which is the felonious taking and carrying away the goods of another. And here both the taking and carrying away are essential.
There is no other distinction between grand and petit larceny than the value of the things stolen; and this determines the degree of punishment. According to our law, theft of more than the value of five pounds is grand larceny; to that value or under is petit larceny.
One of the prisoners stands committed for entering on board a vessel fastened to one of the wharves, in the night time, opening the cabin door, and taking and carrying away a trunk containing some wearing apparel and an hundred pounds in silver belonging to one of the passengers. You will give the proper weight to a circumstance which materially distinguishes this enormity from a burglary, namely, that it was not committed in a dwelling house . If therefore there should be competent evidence of the fact, it is to be proceeded against as a grand larceny.
The Sheriff's Calendar, which will be handed to you, contains the names of the prisoners whose crimes I have described; some others are in custody, and stand bound by recognizance, to answer to accusations of an inferior degree. Such examinations and evidence as are in the power of the Court, will be laid before you by the prosecutor for the people. I find nothing further at this time which requires our particular direction. If difficulties should arise you will have the usual recourse to us for information.
Gentlemen, Your charge in general is to enquire into and present all offences committed within the body of this city and county which shall come to your knowledge, from treason down to trespasses. In executing this important trust, on which the due administration of justice so much depends, the solemn oath you have now taken points out the conduct you ought to pursue, and the motives by which you should be influenced. While you present no man thro' envy or prejudice, let not the guilty escape thro' fear or favor. While you are ready to hear every real grievance, let no citizen be vexed by a prosecution for trivial matters, or on slender grounds. Act with becoming firmness, but with a calmness and deliberation suited to the solemnity of your office; and lastly, be not only impartial and dispassionate, but diligent in your enquiries, that arriving at truth, you may be enabled to determine wisely and justly; and thus, with the testimony of a good conscience, receive the approbation of your country for your faithful services.
