LONDON, March 22.
A merchant in the city has received a letter from Lisbon, which has the following article: "I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that a truce is on the point of being settled by this Court with the Dey of Algiers, through the mediation of the Court of Spain. However, the Queen is fully determined to have a fleet of observation in the Mediterranean, which will be a check on the Barbarians. We shall not forget the obligation we are under for the service the Governor of Gibraltar has done us in prolonging our ships, and preventing them from being taken by the pirates."
In a general view of the present state of our commerce, we find that at Cádiz they are now busy in making crucibles and mortar, to the no small advantage of our Tin Mines. Our red and colored leather is become superior to either the Lisbon or the Turkey manufacture; and for this superiority we are indebted to a foreigner, who had a handsome premium for his services. Our Derbyshire and Nottingham cottons are superior to any produced in Europe. Marfeilles, once so famous for its quilting, now yields the palm to London. Many articles of commerce, which used to be imported into this country, are now exported from it. These are facts.
Field Marshal Count de Lacy let off unexpectedly for the army to partake in the laurels to be gathered at Belgrade. Generals Lichtenstein, Pelegrini, Kaunitz, and Kinsky, are all on the road.
Novi is in possession of the Austrians. This place is of great importance, as commanding a passage into Bosnia. The other advices from Croatia, Hungary, and Transylvania, only mention a small number of boats, and a few prisoners taken by the Imperialists.
The day of announcing the Emperor's declaration, Count de Fabris took possession of a number of vessels, and brought off some prisoners.
The account mentioned in a former paper, of the defeat of the Prince de Cobourg, in the Buckowine, is confirmed by the Gazette Imperiale of the Emperor, which laments that the intemperate ardor of the Prince should have led him to attack a superior force. This paper acknowledges that the Austrians have lost 4000 men, and their army of 15,000 men is entirely defeated. The regiment of Steierens has suffered the most, having lost 14 officers; which, when we recollect that there are only three officers to a company of 200 men in the Imperial service, makes the loss considerable. Two companies of the regiment of Pelegrini have been cut into pieces, and the artillery chiefly destroyed; this is the news of the Court. It conceals half the disasters which the Austrian troops have experienced, and more than half its losses.
It has been decided in the Divan, that the whole mass of their forces shall be employed against the Austrians before they can form a junction with the Russians; and if they can succeed in disabling the army of the Emperor, they have little to fear from that of the Empress, especially the Captain Pacha will commit terrible havoc in the Black Sea, before the Russian fleet can get out of the ice.
CHARLESTON, May 20.

A short account of the Character and History of Achmet the IVth, the present Emperor of the Turks.
THIS Sovereign was born the 18th of May, 1747; he was the son of Achmet the Third, who was dethroned in the year 1730. From his earliest years he has been the object of the most cruel misfortunes. The greatest part of his life has been passed in a fort of state prison, where he remained till the death of his brother, which happened on the 24th of January, 1774. That Prince, a few hours before he expired, sent for the present Sultan, declared him his successor, and recommended to his care his own son, Selim, then a child about 12 years of age. Achmet was proclaimed Sultan the same day, and took the reins of government at the critical period of the Russian war; he, however, concluded a peace, after having changed most of the Members of the Divan, who had gained too great an ascendancy over his brother; with respect to his nephew, far from revenging his own imprisonment upon him, he kept the young Prince in his palace, loaded him with caresses, and has always behaved to him with the tenderness of a father. The Prince has now reached his 22nd year. The greatness of soul which appeared in this, as in many other of his actions, gave the people the highest expectations of his government, and hitherto they have not been disappointed.
As soon as he was firmly seated on the throne, he employed every measure to produce several very necessary regulations in various points, relating to the government of the Empire. He was principally diligent in observing, that justice was impartially administered, and that Governors and Bashaws who had in any manner oppressed his subjects, be punished according to their different degrees of guilt. The evil was, however, too deeply rooted to be extirpated at once, and other Bashaws and Governors have from time to time become the victims of their own cruelty and avarice. In these
laudable endeavors for the promotion of justice, and the welfare of his people, his Highness is vigorously assisted by the present Grand Vizir, and by the Captain Bafhaw, or Grand Admiral, two men of incorruptible firmness and integrity; by their continual efforts they have in a great degree, removed the chief obstacle to the civilization of the Turks. This was an utter stop to the manners and customs of the Europeans, and indeed to all kinds of innovation. This prejudice is now almost surmounted, and the Turks now begin, without much repugnance, to suffer the introduction of many European customs in the civil as well as military department. And if we may believe their last accounts, the whole nation, animated by them, begin now to display bravery and activity, unknown till the present reign.
By an Edict of the Grand Signior, the following Prayer is to be recited four times a day by all the Mahometans.
"CREATOR of all Worlds! Lord of all Heaven and Earth! Thou, whose inmostable and glorious throne obscures the sun, moon and stars! Thou, who rollest the vast and raging ocean, with as much ease as a drop of the morning dew! Thou, who by thy supreme power, can reduce the universe to nothing!—We implore thy protection, succour and help. Hear us, pity us, and grant our prayers.—Thou formerly didst send thy Prophet to give us thy holy laws and commandments: We have transgressed them—we are sinners—and this has brought down thine anger upon us—which has awakened our enemies, and hath caused the land of the faithful this moment, to groan beneath the weight of their chariots, and their neighboring horses to trample it under their feet. Lift not thine avenging arm against us—hide thy face from our sins, and turn thy anger from us—baffle the bloody projects of thine enemies and ours—render their threats in vain—reduce those infidel nations to dust—restore to thy people their former courage and confidence.—And the arches of the temple of Mecca shall resound with praises and thanksgivings unto Thee!
Southern Sleep in a Cottage than in a Palace.
A CERTAIN great man who had the world at will to all manner of purposes, for the delight and service of human life: As glorious palaces, rich furniture, and equipage, a splendid train of servants, the best of every thing to eat and drink; delicious well-ordered gardens, water-works, plants, walks; and a revenue to answer all this pomp and expence; a healthy state of body, with a wife that was a woman of a thousand, and a hopeful flock of children to crown the blessing.
This man, I say, though in the full possession of all that fortune could bestow upon him, found himself yet uneasy in his condition, to the degree of envying even drudges and slaves. He took no rest night nor day; one while the fault was in his chamber, another while in his pillow, his posture or some such other folly; never reflecting all this while, upon cares and anxieties that attend invincible fortunes and ill-gotten estates.
With this whimsy in his head, he sends up and down among his subjects and tenants, to try who and who sleeps best, and to take an account of the ordinary means of their repose. At this rate, he went on, trying, shifting and enquiring from one thing to another, till he came to be sensible in the conclusion, that the fault was not in his lodging, but in his Mind.
REMARK.
'Tis not Treasure or Power that lays either the Head or the Heart at rest; but a quiet Conscience, and the candid Simplicity of a tender Mind. He's the only happy man, who neither desires more, nor feels the loss of what he has. Men are distracted, restless, and uneasily betwixt an insatiable thirst after what they have not and a solicitous apprehension for what they have.
MR. CHILDS,
I HAVE just read, in your paper of this day, a virulent attack upon the character of the teachers in our College.—The weak malice that appears so plainly in it, and the rude language in which it is expressed will make it and the author, objects only of scorn, to the gentlemen against whom it was directed, as far as they are personally concerned.—But as matters of more general consequence are involved, it may not be amiss briefly to lay before your readers a state of the transaction alluded to.
When the College was restored, after the late war, the fees to be paid by the students, were fixed by the Governors, (who alone have power to fix them), at Five Dollars to each professor, whose lectures the student should attend. This sum was undoubtedly understood, to be paid in silver or gold, for no other currency was then acknowledged by the laws of the State. The Professors are therefore justifiable in demanding to be paid in gold or silver, until the corporation of the college shall think fit otherwise to appoint. The Trustees of New-Jersey College, as I am informed, from the bell authority, have raised the terms of tuition in proportion to the depreciation of their paper; and it is nothing but justice.
The teachers in our College are obliged to send to Europe for books which cannot be procured here. No one is ignorant that they must pay an high premium for money that will serve for remittances; therefore if the price of tuition, is not paid in gold or silver, as settled at first, the exchange will be so much deducted from the small pittance they receive.
The author of the invective says, that "we have raised the objects of his bitter reflections, from penury, to a more comfortable situation than they appear now to have deserved." He need not, I assure him, envy the comforts of their situation; he never knew them in greater penury than at present. But as I said before, his remarks that are merely personal, and himself, they will hold in contempt.
New-York, May 29.
MR. CHILDS,
This being the season for attention to a proper MANAGEMENT of BEES so as to procure their Honey without destroying those useful animals, you are requested to publish the following Essay communicated to the Society of Belles Lettres in Princeton, by Colonel GEORGE MORGAN, Member of that Society, and of the Agricultural Societies at Philadelphia, and Charleston, South-Carolina.
SEVERAL writers on the management of Bees, have given very ingenious directions for taking their new made honey, without destroying those useful creatures. My humanity, hurt at the idea of setting fire to the fatal match, induced me to imitate their methods; particularly those of Mr. Wildman, and the Rev. Mr. White, whose directions I observed very attentively, with some success; but my expectations were not gratified, as I found young broods in every hive I took, and consequently the honey obtained was impure.—However, after a variety of experiments, I discovered an agreeable, safe, and easy way to take the honey, without the least injury or disturbance of the bees.
As I have experienced great pleasure, and some benefit from my discovery, I take this opportunity to lay it before the Society.
My boxes are made, after the manner of Mr. White's, of any well seasoned wood, ten inches
square in the clear; in pairs, with communications at the sides, for the bees to pass freely from one box to another: a pane of glass, (7 by 9) with a sliding shutter, may be put in the back part of each box, through which you may see the bees at work. Any person who can handle a saw and hammer, may make the boxes at a small expence.
The communications between the boxes are at top and bottom: those at top should be three inches long, and half an inch wide, to serve as streets or alleys betwixt the hives.
The communications at bottom should be five or six inches long and three-fourths of an inch deep, so as to afford a free passage from one hive to the other.
The mouth of the hive may be from three to ten inches long, and half an inch deep. In the busy season, this wide entrance facilitates the bees going out and coming in, and may be contracted at pleasure in autumn.
Early the next morning after giving a swarm of bees in one of these boxes, I add another to it, the door of which I close until the bees begin to work in it; when I open it to facilitate their industry.
Each box, of the above dimensions, will contain thirty pounds of honey.—An early swarm, in a favorable situation and season, will fill two boxes, and cast out several swarms; each of which will fill two boxes with honey.
As winter approaches, all the bees collect themselves into that box, where the queen takes up her residence, and will gratefully leave the other, with its pure contents to the use of the owner, whose profit in good seasons will be 90lb. of honey and several additional swarms, for every stock kept over the preceding winter.—15 or 20lb. of honey are sufficient to keep a stock over our longest winters—but I leave them 3lb.
Thus I acquire the purest honey, without the use of the match, or any trouble in dividing or disturbing the bees; for on turning up the hives (which have no glasses) I discover, immediately, that in which the bees are collected, and I carry off the other, without a single bee in it.
The losses and disappointments I have met with in a great variety of experiments, induce me to recommend this management to every lover of bees, as I have found it easy, pleasant, and profitable.
The republic of bees has at all times occasioned admiration; their culture is an object worthy our attention; and their natural history has engaged that of many of the learned—but in this there are certain arcana which have, until lately, baffled all enquiry. The most inquisitive and skillful naturalists differ extremely in their conjectures.
Pliny, with others, was of opinion that bees, as well as the other tribes of animals, are perpetuated by copulation; though they acknowledge that they have never been able to observe them in the act. Swammerdam entertained a notion that the female, or queen bee, was fecundated without copulation; that it was sufficient for her to be near the males; that a vivifying aura exhalating from the bodies of the males, and absorbed by the females, might impregnate her eggs.
Monsieur Reaumur, to whom the curious are highly indebted for his researches into natural thought he had, in a great measure, removed the veil, and brought their manner of generating to a proof, by seeing them copulate.
Mr. Debray, apothecary to Addenbrook's hospital at Cambridge, has, a short time past, communicated to the world his enquiries and observations on this subject, from many years attention to it, and has exploded all ideas of copulation in bees. His system is supported by every fact that various experiments, successfully repeated, can possibly give it.—The result of those experiments, which carry with them an entire evidence, affords sufficient reason to assert, that bees, though they have sexes, do not copulate, but that their ova, like the spawn of fish, owe their fecundation to an impregnation from the males. The celebrated Maraldi had such a notion, as may be seen in a publication in the history of the academy of sciences for the year 1712.
Most writers agree, that the queen is the only female in the hive, and the mother of the next generation; that the drones are the males, by which she is fecundated, and that the working bees are of neither sex.—But Mr. Debray, and Mr. Scherach, a German naturalist, affirm that all the working bees are females in disguise: that every one of those bees is capable of becoming a queen bee, if the whole community should think proper to nurse it in a particular manner, and raise it to that rank.
Mr. Debray says, that numerous experiments have evidenced to him the truth of this assertion, and that whilst he was most anxiously endeavoring to ascertain the use of drones in the year 1770, he discovered what Maraldi had only conjectured—that is, the impregnation of the eggs by the males.
Mr. Debray seems to have varied his experiments in every way necessary to arrive at the truth; and from those I cannot withhold my opinion that the drones are males, that all the working bees are females, and that any of the latter are capable of becoming a queen bee, if the community should think proper to nurse it in a particular manner, and to raise it to that rank.
Mr. Debray and Mr. Scherach, have by their discoveries in these particulars, practised an easy method of propagating colonies of bees, whereby a numerous increase is made of those useful insects. Their method is no farther trouble than to take a large brood comb, containing eggs, worms, and nymphs, from an old hive, and put it under a new one, with a few common bees and drones, and confine them there.—The bees finding themselves without a queen, they say, make a strange buzzing noise, which generally lasts two or three days, when they betake themselves to work, and begin a royal cell over one of the young brood.—A certain indication that that worm will be converted into a queen. When this royal cell is nearly completed, the door of the hive may be left open, as the bees will not now desert it.
This practice has extended itself through upper Lusatia, the Palatinate, Bohemia, Bavaria, Silesia, and Poland; where it has excited the attention and patronage of government; and the Empress of Russia has thought it of much importance, that she has lately sent a person to Klein-bautzen to be instructed in the general principles, and to learn all the minutiae of this new art. But this method, ingenious as it is, is now rendered useless, by the above related improvement.
SCRAPS.
FERDINAND the Fifth of Spain was a very deceitful Prince, and gloried in that character. It was once said to him by his minister, that Louis the twelfth of France complained of his having twice deceived him. Twice, he exclaimed, the drunkard has told a lie; I have deceived him more than ten times.
There are men who, if pressed to drink, will quit the room; leave them to themselves, and they will tipple like Anacharsis. He was always first drunk.
Heat acts upon the vegetable creation as wine does upon the human system. The sun's rays bring forth leaves, fruits, and flowers; but when the heart is too intense, they wither and decay. Thus, in the same manner, wine, taken moderately, adds vigor both to the body and mind; but if taken too copiously, destroys what it is intended to support.
When a sea crab wants to devour an oyster, he draws him from his bed to the sun, which soon makes the oyster open his shell to enjoy the warmth. The crab then puts a stone between the shell, which hinders their closing, and by this artifice devours it.

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 in unremitted assiduity to the point, and 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 see the business performed.
2d. To allow each a proper district, in such manner, as that every chimney chimney 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.
