From a London Paper.
THE BLUE AND BUFF CREED.
WHOSOEVER will belong to the party, it is requisite that he hold the following faith. There is one great leader of the party, middling in his stature, full in his belly, and round and black in his face; another short in stature, thin in body, and pimpled on his nose and cheeks; and a third tall in stature, fallow in complexion, of bad eyes. And yet there are not three leaders, but one leader, co-existing by ducal bounty, connected by common interest, and with the same object in view.
The first is greater than the second, as to his lungs, and the second is greater than the third, as to his wit, and the third is equal to both in the length of his story.
And yet they are not three great parties, but one great party, obstinate in their pursuits, unfor-giving in their tempers, soured by disappointment, and mad with revenge.
The first was minister, would be minister, and will never be content until he is again minister.
The second was secretary, would be secretary, and will never be content until he is again secretary.
The third was paymaster, would be paymaster, and will never be content until he is again paymaster.
And yet they are neither minister, secretary, or paymaster.
They are three out-casts from office, existing upon political hope, and expecting riches from Eastern Princesses.
The first is in possession of sense and lungs that would blow fire into iron.
The second has wit that would cut thro' a wall of brass.
And the third is master of words to swell a paragraph of four lines into a volume of argument.
And yet there is neither sound sense, true wit, or solid argument among them.
The first is superior to the second in point of belly, and the second is inferior to the third in legs and body; and the third is superior to both in height and head.
And yet one is not superior to the other at the table of his grace, where each is co-equal in eating and co-eternal in drinking.
This is the party faith as it is credited at the thatched house, broker's, and the king's arms, which, except a candidate believe, he cannot have any benefit thereby.
WARSAW, July 26.
We have still our doubts respecting the truth of a third engagement between the Turks and Russians. Certain it is, however, that Oczakow is completely bombarded by sea; and we are inclined to think that the reports of the last engagement, however general, proceed from this circumstance merely.
TRIESTE, July 13.
Lieutenant general Saborowky, accompanied by a major, a captain of the empress's guards, and three other officers, is gone to see the Russian squadron safely escorted to Leghorn.
TAMESWAR, July 1.
The emigrations from the Ottoman provinces continue to encrease, instead of diminishing. Upwards of one hundred families have lately arrived in the Imperial territories, and brought with them several thousand head of cattle.
COPENHAGEN, July 26.
The court of Russia having applied to this kingdom for the succours stipulated by the treaty of 1781, it is affirmed, that our fleet will immediately join that of the empress. In consequence whereof, it is said that the prince royal will shorten his journey, but that the prince of Hesse will still remain in Norway. Two more regiments have been ordered to Helsingfors and Cronenburgh. Three Swedish frigates, of 24 guns each, have sailed from Gottenburg for the black sea. The Russian vice admiral Van Dellen is arrived off this port with three ships of 100 guns, and is daily expected to be joined by five other vessels from Archangel.
PETERSBURGH, July 27.
We learn from Nystol, that the Swedes, to the number of 5,000 men, have made two fruitless attempts upon the castle, the garrison of which only consists of 200 chasseurs. In consequence of these two repulses the enemy have found it expedient to retire to a considerable distance from the fortress.
STOCKHOLM, July 22.
We have received no certain intelligence yet of the surrender of Nystol. This castle is exceedingly strong, from its situation on the river, where it is built upon a rock. It is actually, however, under a blockade, all the avenues to it being occupied, and every kind of communication cut off. In the north, we understand, brigadier baron de Haftehr has made good his footing in Russian Finland; and in the south major general baron d'Armfelt has landed in Russian Carelia, not far from Londa, where many important passes have been secured, but particularly that of Pyts, upon the frontiers. These two generals have received reinforcements from the head quarters at Helsingfors; but the grand army is to be headed by his majesty in person.
The prizes we have already taken from the Russians are seven in number, and said to be of great value. All the communication between Russia and Swedish Finland is stopped since the Russians burned all the bridges upon the river.
JULY 26.
In all our dock yards, but particularly in that of Carlscron, the workmen are indefatigable in their labors; and already have we six more ships of the line, and four more frigates nearly ready to put to sea in order to join the grand fleet.
BERLIN, August 2.
Last Sunday the secretary of state, count Hertberg, set off for Potsdam in consequence of a message from the king. The Danish charge d'affaires was there also, and after the meeting a large packet of dispatches was sent to Peterburgh, from which it is supposed that some proposals of accommodation have been made to the belligerent northern powers. Institutions have also been sent to the generals in Stettin, Prussian Guelderland, and Koningsburgh. It is said that a Prussian army of observation will be formed on the frontiers of Poland, which seems in the present situation of affairs to be necessary.
BRUSSELS, August 11.
His Imperial Majesty being determined to put an end to the disturbances which have to long agitated this country, has given orders to take up all persons, either at Brussels, Louvain, or Antwerp, who are known to be the chief instigators of the disturbances, and to confine them in the citadel of Antwerp.
VERSAILLES, July 28.
An English squadron, consisting of six ships of the line, and a great number of frigates, has entered the Mediterranean, of which event notice has been sent to the marquis de Nieul, who commands the squadron of evolution that lately left Brest. M. d'Hector has very precipitately set off from Paris, in order to take upon him the command there.
LONDON, August 18.
The dispatches lately received from Mr. Elliott, the British Envoy at Copenhagen, were unusually short on their passage; the occasion of it is a communication established by that minister (across the two arms of the sea, called the Belts) from the island of Zealand, on which Copenhagen stands, to the Continent, and which will be kept open, though at a considerable expence during the rupture of the North.
The following is the real State of the Ottoman Land Forces.
   Infantry Men.     Janissaries 110,300   Each oda or regiment of Janissaries, of which there are 62, are composed of 1000 men, which makes the whole 162,000; but deducting the old soldiers, and those who are in garrison at Constantinople, there is only the above number in the field.   Topzi artillery and Camburza bombardiers, 10,000   Their numbers on the establishment are 20,000, but half are in the different fortresses.   Sarigias, or Serrodsche, troops which each pacha is obliged to furnish according to his income, 6000   Mestersi, or troops to mark out the camps, and set up the tents, &c. 60,000   Total infantry in the field 132,000   To this number may be added the volunteers, who are very numerous, the tributaries, the allies, &c. which may be estimated at 150,000   Cavalry.   Saphias, regular and paid from the military chest of the grand sultan, constantly, 12,000   Timariottes, or feudal military, 132,645   Sebegi, a species of Cuirassiers, 18,000   These Cuirassiers are divided into 60 Odas , each 500 men, which makes the whole establishment 30,000.   Segbani, a sort of dragoons furnished by the pachas, 4000   Total cavalry in the field 156,054   General total 306,054  
Add to these the Tartars, and the Mucagli, who serve solely as body guards to the different pachas; a part of the Bosangis, or militia of Cairo, &c. the whole amount to about 400,000 in the field.
To oppose the above, the emperor has 275,000 in the field, and the empress of Russia 200,000.
The number of horses employed in the Austrian army amounts to 80,000, and the troops in the same army consume 3,000 quintals of flour daily, which amounts to 2,920,000 per annum; and 200 oxen daily is 73,000 a year; to which, if we add other substances, such as wine, vinegar, forage and warlike ammunition, it will give some idea, not only what a great expence the emperor is at, but we may calculate how long he can afford to bear it; especially as his whole army, in time of peace does not cost more than 24 millions of florins per annum, and his ordinary revenues are only one hundred millions of florins.
PHILADELPHIA, October 13.

Given under my Hand and the Privy Seal at the city of New-York, this thirteenth day of October, in the thirteenth year of the Independence of the said State.
GEO. CLINTON.

At a Meeting of the DIRECTORS and AGENTS of the OHIO COMPANY, (July 2, 1788) on the Banks of the Muskingum,—and near the confluence of that River with the Ohio,—it was resolved that the following address be presented to the Proprietors:—
To the Proprietors in the Purchase of the Ohio Company.
GENTLEMEN, THE directors and agents of the Company, at their meeting held at this place the 2d of July last, were of opinion, that in order to promote the interest of the proprietors, it is necessary to give suitable encouragement to adventurers, in
quantities of land suitable for farms and plantations, near the places of settlement within the purchase, and directed that the proprietors should be notified thereof, and the reasons assigned, that have induced this opinion, that your advice and direction therein may be had.
In the survey of the eight acre lots, it hath been found necessary, to preserve that degree of equality expected by the articles of allocation, to lay those lots at greater distances from this city than was thought would have been necessary at the time those surveys were ordered; in doing which, proper places for settlement of villages have been consulted; and although no injury hath been offered to our persons or property, yet we apprehend the security of the settlement depends on the compact situation of the inhabitants; nor do we expect settlers can be induced to emigrate in great numbers to this purchase, unless the same mode of settlement shall be continued, until an exterior connected barrier is formed against the savages, covering a considerable tract of country.
Under this idea, the settlers feel themselves disappointed in their expectations, nor having a prospect of coming to the possession of their farm lands, or even of their eight acre lots, until a time much beyond their ability or inclination to wait for.—A rapid settlement we consider as the most speedy and effectual means of increasing the value of our lands; for this purpose inducements are necessary.
Within twelve months, more than ten thousand emigrants have passed this place to Kentucky and other parts on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, upwards of seven thousand of which have gone down since we began our settlement; much the greater part of these are not owners of any lands in the country to which they have migrated, but expect to become purchasers; and we are confident very many of these would have become settlers on this purchase, if they could have had any encouragement to stay with us; but under our present arrangements we have no lands to give or to sell. Many applications have been made to us, on this subject, but we have not had the means of giving them satisfaction.—The almost universal practice of giving lands to persons settling a new country, has warranted an expectation in emigrants that similar measures will be still pursued; but where they can neither buy, nor have lands given, we cannot expect them to remain. Independent of every idea of danger from the natives, or peculiar circumstances attending the settlement of this purchase, we are of opinion, that giving a part of the lands to industrious people, on performing certain duties in settling, clearing, &c. will be very much for the interest of the proprietors, the increase of the value of lands being generally in proportion to the increase of inhabitants thereon.
The directors and agents for these reasons are of opinion, that the true interest of the proprietors will be best promoted by some alterations in the manner already prescribed for dividing their lands; and that some provisions ought to be made for encouraging the settlement of the country, by grants of lands to settlers on certain conditions beneficial to the Company; and we are convinced that the means of information, sufficient to form a just opinion on this subject, at the distance most of the proprietors live from the purchase, is not to be expected: the directors and agents have therefore requested a meeting of the proprietors at this place, the first Wednesday in December next, by agents specially appointed, to consider of these and other matters relating to the propriety, or that your agents already appointed may receive your instructions on this subject.
We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants, Per order of the directors and agents, SAMUEL H. PARSONS, RUFUS PUTNAM, ARCHIBALD CRARY. Marietta, August 17, 1788.

SIXTEEN SERMONS.
Chiefly on Practical Subjects, enforced from our Saviour's Parable. By JAMES MUIR, A. M. late of Bermuda. These Sermons are written by a Minister, firmly attached to the doctrine of salvation by divine grace, and breathe the spirit of sincere piety and fervent love to the souls of men.—They appear in an unadorned plainness, and chaste simplicity of style, which will certainly recommend them to persons of sincere piety.—Extract from Dr. Witherspoon's Introduction.

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 stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said 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 grubs 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 found 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 Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

Specific Solution.
PROVED by experience to be the easiest and most effectual remedy ever yet discovered for the cure of the Venereal Disease , to be 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, upwards of twenty persons have experienced its virtues within the last two months, and many could vouch for 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. Contiguous to the Doctors, apartments are fitted up for patients. Sept. 25.
