VIENNA, May 7.
At the double encounter at Turkish Dubitza we had near 200 men and 67 horses killed. Among the wounded are 11 commissioned officers and 400 subalterns and privates. The Turks lost between 3 and 400 men in the assault, and near 600 in the field. We took one of their standards. Actions between our troops and the Turks are daily fought, and in general terminate in the slaughter of considerable numbers.
Every thing seems to foretell, that before the end of this month we shall hear of some great battle, either in Servia, the environs of Bender, or Oczakow.
Private letters inform us, that the siege of Belgrade began the 3d of this month.
BERLIN, May 10.
Our politicians entertain not a doubt of the destination of our troops to take possession of the city of Dantzick. They seem to conjecture a design or uniting to the dominion of Prussia the town of Thorn, the waivodes of Gherme, Kolisch, Posen, and all the Western parts of Poland. They say that this point was settled a long time before the commencement of the war between the Imperial Courts and the Turks. Time alone can ascertain the validity of their conjectures.
LONDON, May 15-29.
Yesterday morning (May 14) three mails arrived at the General Post-Office, viz. one from New-York, one from Halifax, and another from Quebec. They were all brought over in his Majesty's packet-boat Prince William Henry, Capt. Sharp, after a short passage of only 18 days to Falmouth, which is the short test ever known.
Although the ships which were at the islands in March and April last, were, in point of number and tonnage, as great as ever remembered, it is generally believed that they will be found insufficient to transport the immense produce of the late season to Europe; which is in all the islands greater than has been experienced by the planters for more than twenty years.
Opposition, it is rumoured, mean to make the late commercial shock a subject of parliamentary retrospect. The Privy Council are now warmly engaged on the business.
Yesterday orders were sent down to Portsmouth for two houses of rendezvous to be immediately opened there, for the entering seamen into his Majesty's service, to man the men of war which are getting ready for sea.
Yesterday two houses of rendezvous were opened at Wapping, and one on Tower-Hill, for the entering seamen to man his Majesty's ships fitting out for Channel service.

Notwithstanding the contempt with which we seem to treat the Emperor of Morocco's fleet, it may be a very mischievous, though a very small one. They can keep the Barbary shore, and pull at every sail which is entering or going out of the Straight's mouth, in spite of our men of war, and every prisoner is made a slave, and most of them sent up to Mequinez. This is not a matter of indifference to those who use the Straight's trade.
The rock of Gibraltar seems to be in a two-fold danger, from the temporary hostility of the false Prince, and the perpetual jealousy of the Spaniards, now armed in full force, ready to strike any important blow, which time, chance, and a concurrence of fortunate circumstances may throw in their way. The summit of their warlike ambition, would be the recovery of Gibraltar out of our hands, to be re-annexed to their dominions for ever.
The Emperor of Morocco's manifesto against this country, is the subject of general admiration. There is so much politeness and good breeding in it, that it may serve in future, as a model for compositions of this sort.
Notwithstanding the impudent assertions of the despot of Morocco, two of his frigates lately repaired at Gibraltar, cost government upwards of £5000. and he now has the modesty to demand as much gunpowder as will cost £40,000.
Thursday died, (as was supposed) Mrs. Margaret Carpenter, journeywoman to Mrs. Smith, livery lace-maker, in Little Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, and on Friday she was properly laid out, in order to be interred yesterday; when in the night, to the astonishment and terror of the whole family, she came down stairs stark naked, having only been in a trance: As soon as this surprize was over, they put her in a warm bed, and gave her comfortable things for her refreshment: She said she was bitter cold; but her situation so shocked her, that it is almost impossible for her to recover.
MAY 27
The Spanish squadron which lately put to sea from Cadiz, under the command of Don Emanuel de Cordova, nephew to the commander in chief of that name, and which was by the last accounts cruising off or near Cape St. Vincent, consisted of the following ships of the line and frigates. El Magnifico, La Castillana, El Fierro, of 70 guns each; La Dragon, La Sirena, El Poderosa, of 60 guns each. Frigates, La Venus of 38, La Mercuria 36, La San Miguel 32, La Santa Clara 26, and three galleys.
The ships of the line which the Spaniards have ready at Cadiz, and are said to be arming at this time, are, one of 96, one of 80, eight of 70, and four of 60 guns; several of these are new since the last war.
A letter from Falmouth, dated May 22, says, "Orders are come down here for two houses of rendezvous to be opened for the immediate entering seamen into his Majesty's service, to man the ships now fitting out at Portsmouth."
MAY 29
The effect of the King's orders of the 8th inst. at the Bed of Justice held at Versailles, is a Rebellion in some of the provinces.
In former papers we have related the strong resolutions and protests of the Parliament of Toulouse.
The Comte de Peigord, of one of the first families in France, and who commanded there, has been expelled the city on endeavoring to enforce the King's commands, and the gates of the town are kept shut against him. Two regiments quartered there under his command, are likewise withdrawn from the garrison, as the Commandant did not chuse to expose them, knowing that so small a force would be totally insufficient. He has written to Court desiring a reinforcement of 10,000 men, without which, it was his opinion, that nothing could be effected. In Brittany—a great part of the province is in actual rebellion. The Commandant at Rennes had ordered the regiment of Soubize to march; but the troops refused, and laid down their arms. He has likewise dispatched two couriers to Versailles, fearing from the state of the province that one might miscarry, desiring an immediate supply of troops.
On the 12th and 13th inst. a large body of troops, both horse and foot, with a prodigious number of General and other officers, were met marching in great haste from Paris, towards Bourdeaux. The road was covered with carriages of every description, and appeared a scene of much confusion.
"The King's orders of the 8th, were to be put in force there the 15th inst.; and it is imagined they will be resisted in the same manner as at Toulouse."
In Paris—the people are more quiet,—but it is only because of the large body of troops in its vicinity. They have been dispersed with much circumspection in every quarter of the town for fear of any tumult.
Yesterday the Court of King's Bench determined that a woman was competent to serve the offices of Commissioner of Sewers and Overseer of the poor. Mr. Justice Ashhurst observed, that the statute of Elizabeth, mentioned substantial householders as the persons who were eligible, which comprehended women as well as men; and he instanced a parish in which a woman was elected and served the office of constable.
SALE, July 29.
Last Friday, a female stranger died at the Bell Tavern, in Danvers; and on Sunday her remains were decently interred. The circumstances relative to this woman, are such as excite curiosity, and interest our feelings. She was brought to the Bell in a chaise, from Watertown, as she laid, by a young man whom she had engaged for that purpose. After she had alighted, and taken a trunk with her into the house, the chaise immediately drove off. She remained at this inn till her death, in expectation of the arrival of her husband, whom she expected to come for her, and appeared anxious at his delay. She was averse to being interrogated concerning herself or connections; and kept much retired to her chamber, employed in needlework, writing, &c. She said, however, that she came from Westfield, in Connecticut, that her parents lived in that state; that she had been married only a few months; and that her husband's name was Thomas Walker—but always carefully concealed her family name. Her linen was all marked E. W. About a fortnight before her death, she was brought to bed of a lifeless child.—When those who attended her, apprehended her fate, they asked her, whether she did not wish to see her friends:—She answered, that she was very desirous of seeing them. It was proposed that she should send for them; to which she objected, hoping in a short time to be able to go them. From what she said, and from other circumstances, it appeared probable to those who attended her, that she belonged to some country town in Connecticut. Her conversation, her writings and her manners, bespoke the advantage of a respectable family and good education. Her person was agreeable—her deportment, amiable and engaging—and though in a state of anxiety and suspense, she preserved a cheerfulness, which seemed to be not the effect of insensibility, but of a firm and patient temper.—She was supposed to be about 35 years old. Copies of letters, of her writing, dated at Hartford, Springfield, and other places, were left among her things.—This account is given by the family in which she resided—and it is hoped the publication of it, will be a means of ascertaining her friends or her fate.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 7.
It is with pleasure we inform our Fellow Citizens, that it is PROBABLE the New Congress may yet meet at New-York.
On Monday last, when the question was under consideration for filling up the blank in the ordinance for organizing the New Government, where the New Congress should meet, it was carried for "BALTIMORE"—Seven to Six.
On Tuesday a motion was made for reconsidering the question, and lost.
Yesterday the same ordinance being still under consideration, a motion was made for striking out "BALTIMORE" and inserting "NEW-YORK"—which was carried by seven states—New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, and South-Carolina, voting in the affirmative:—Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North-Carolina, in the negative, and Georgia, divided.
The business is not yet closed;—and tho' we cannot with certainty say that the Resolution will go out in its present form, yet there is good reason to think it will not be altered.
The present conduct of several European Princes manifests strikingly what changes take place in political systems. There was a period, when confederated Europe endeavored to destroy the power and dominion of the Mahometans in that part of Asia called Syria, Palestine, and the Holy Land, and whole armies of adventurous knights, armed cap-a-pie, were led, by a long and dangerous voyage in those days, to shew their zeal for the Christian faith. Now we find that those nations are extremely cautious in lending their assistance to the Russians, to navigate a fleet to the Archipelago, to attack the Turks, who are descendants of the Mahometans already mentioned; and it is even confidently said, that the Spaniards, long the inveterate foes of all of the Turkish faith, are not willing to suffer the Russians to pass the Straights of Gibraltar. The political faith of European States now is, that the balance of power should be supported, and that no empire or kingdom should, at length, become paramount to the rest.
The Turkish Ambassador when he took leave of the Court at Madrid, was laden with the following presents:—From the King, a ring garnished with diamonds, value 9000 florins; a diamond rose valued at 3000 florins; 2000 six-dollars in specie; and besides his daily expenses, 300 florins a day are advanced for 84 days; 100lb. of quinquina, ten pieces of fine cloth, and 10,000 florins for the Secretary and domestics. From the Prince of Asturias, a valuable diamond ring, worth 12,000 florins; and from the Prime Minister a gold snuff-box, valued at 1500 florins.
Yesterday arrived the Schooner New-York Packet, Barnard, in seven days from Boston.
Married, last week, Mr. JOHN BATTIN, of John-street, to the agreeable Miss MARGARET AMELIA FRAUNCIS, daughter to Mr. Samuel Francis, of said street.
On the 11th ult. (after four days illness) died at Trinidad, Mr. JOHN FISH, formerly of Newhaven, Connecticut.
On Tuesday morning died Mr. BENJAMIN HILDRETH, an eminent Distiller of this city—His universal character was that of an honest man, and a respectable inhabitant.
On Monday, the 28th ult. died, greatly lamented, the amiable consort of his Excellency JOHN COLLINS, Esq. Governor of the State of Rhode-Island, and eldest daughter of John Avery, Esq. of Boston, in the 54th year of her age.

ON THE SPLEEN.
(From Observations on the Temper and Disposition of the Dutch.)
"STRANGERS" among them are apt to complain of the Spleen; but those of the country seldom or never—which I take to proceed from their being ever busy, or easily satisfied. For this seems to be the disease of people who are idle, or think themselves but ill entertained, and attribute every fit of dull humor or imagination, to a formal disease, which they have found this name for;—whereas such fits are incident to all men, at one time or other, from the fumes of indigestion, from the common alterations of some insensible degrees in health and vigour; or from some change or approaches of change, in winds and weather, which affect the finer spirits of the brain, before they grow sensible to other parts; and are apt to alter the shapes or colors of whatever is represented to us by our imaginations, while we are so affected.—Yet this effect is not so strong, but that business or intenseness of thought, commonly either resists, or diverts it, and those who understand the motions of it, let it pass and return to themselves.
But such as are idle, or know not from whence these changes arise, and trouble their heads with notions or schemes of general happiness, or unhappiness in life, upon every such fit, begin reflections on the conditions of their bodies, their souls or their fortunes; and as all things are then represented in the worst colors, they fall into melancholy apprehensions of one or the other, and sometimes of them all. These make deep impressions on their minds and are not easily worn out by the natural returns of good humor, especially if they are often interrupted by the contrary; as happens in some particular constitutions and more generally in certain climates, especially if improved by accidents of ill-health, or ill-fortune. But this is a disease too refined for Dutchmen, who are well, when they are not ill, and pleased, when they are not troubled; are content, because they think little of it, and seek their happiness in the common cases and commodities of life, or encase of riches; not amusing themselves with the more speculative contrivances of passion or refinements of pleasure."
A curious account of a native of the Island of St. Kilda, who visited Glasgow.
(From Knox's tour to the HEBRIDES.) ONE of the Inhabitants of St. Kilda being some time ago wind-bound in the Isle of Harris, was prevailed on by some of them that traded to Glasgow, to go thither with them. He was astonished at the length of the voyage, and of the great kingdoms, as he thought them, that is, lies by which they failed; the largest in his way did not exceed twenty-four miles in length, but he considered how much they exceeded his own little native country.
Upon his arrival at Glasgow, he was like one that had dropped from the clouds into a new world; whose language, habits, &c. were in all respects new to him. He never imagined that such big houses of stone were made with hands; and from the pavement of the street, as thought it must needs be altogether natural: for he could not believe that men would be at the pains to beat stones into the ground to walk upon. He stood dumb at the door of his lodging with the greatest admiration; and when he saw a coach and two horses, he thought it to be a little house they were drawing at their tail, with men in it; but he condemned the coachman for a fool to sit so uneasy, for he thought it safer to sit on the horse's back. The mechanism of the coach wheel, and its running about, was the greatest of all his wonders.
When he went through the streets, he desired to have one to lead him by the hand. Thomas Rofs, a merchant, and others, that took the diversion of carrying him through the town, asked his opinion of the high church? He answered that it was a large rock, yet there were some in St. Kilda much higher, but that these were the best caves he ever saw; for that was the idea which he conceived of the pillars and the arches upon which the church stands. When they carried him into the church, he was yet more surprised, and held up his hands with admiration, wondering how it was possible for men to build such a prodigious fabric which he supposed to be the largest in the universe. He could not imagine what the pews were designed for, and he fancied that the people who wore masks (not knowing whether they were men or women) had been guilty of some ill thing, for which they dared not shew their faces. He was amazed at women's wearing patches, and fancied them to have been blisters—pendants seemed to him the most ridiculous of all things; he condemned periwigs mightily, and much more the powder used in them; in fine, he condemned all things as superfluous that he had not seen in his own country. He looked with amazement on every thing that was new to him. When he heard the church bells ring he was under a mighty consternation, as if the fabric of the world had been in great disorder. He did not think there had been so many people in the world as in the city of Glasgow; and it was a great mystery to him to think what they could all design by living so many in one place. He wondered how they could all be furnished with provision, and when he saw big loaves, he could not tell whether they were bread, stone or wood. He was amused to think, how they could be provided with ale, for he never saw any there that drank water. He wondered how they made them fine clothes, and to see stockings made without being first cut, and afterwards sewn, was no small wonder to him. He thought it foolish in women to wear thin silks, as being a very improper habit, for such as pretended to any sort of employment. When he saw the women's feet, he judged them to be of another shape than those of the men, because of the different shape of their shoes. He did not approve of the heels of shoes worn by men or women; and when he observed horses with shoes on their feet, and fastened with iron nails, he could not forbear laughing, and thought it the most ridiculous thing that ever fell under his observation. He longed to see his native country again, and passionately wished it were blessed with ale, brandy, tobacco and iron, as Glasgow was.

THE place which William Provost formerly occupied, which for elegance of situation is perhaps equal to any in the State of New-Jersey, it lies three quarters of a mile from the church of Hackinsack, and extends from the river up the road towards Paramus, being intersected by the road leading to the New Bridge: On the Lot next the river is a Stone DWELLING-HOUSE, two story high in front, and three in rear, having a fine dry Cellar and a Dwelling-Room underneath on the ground floor, (being built on the declivity of a hill) with a large Kitchen adjoining: Also, a Poultry-House and a new Barn in the rear of the Dwelling-House is a beautiful Green, ornamented with Fruit-Trees; between which and the river, lies a valuable piece of Meadow, yielding about twenty-four loads of English Hay yearly: to the rear of the meadow is a spacious and substantial Dock, newly made, on which is a Store with a large quantity of ashes, an extraordinary Spring and Well at the Dwelling-House, from which the Meadow may be watered: There is also a Garden with a variety of the best Fruit-Trees: On the Lot on the opposite side of the road stands a commodious Store, commanding the trade of the back country, also a young Orchard of good Fruit-Trees. The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which is a Wood-Land; the Land has been well manured with ashes; the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial fence.
The beauty of this situation, and its advantages for trade, make it eligible either as a Country Seat or a place of business. To be sold in three different Lots, or the whole together, as may best suit the purchaser. For terms, apply to DIRCK LEFFERTS, in Maiden-Lane, No. 21, New-York, who will give a good title for the same. The conditions of payment will be made easy to the Purchaser.
