L O N D O N, October 15.
By a gentleman who arrived on Sunday from Paris, and whose rank and connections make him acquainted with the intrigues of the French Cabinet, we are informed that the French king dislikes Necker as much as our monarch does Charles Fox. The states, he adds, may impeach the archbishop, but Louis will never ratify their sentence.
Others again, compare the situation of their king and the late minister, to our first Charles, and his unfortunate Staff. They hesitate not to affirm, that the archbishop will be condemned to death, and that the king, like Charles, will be compelled to legalise its execution. Some go farther: as English politics and English history are much read, they say it is by no means improbable, that the grand monarch's end may be like that of the English monarch; consequently for the good of the people.
Calonne is in royal favor, and it is not at all unlikely that he may be soon restored, as Necker, the king and court think, has too much of the republican leaven in his composition, for the minister of an absolute sovereign.
The Revenge cutter of 12 guns is arrived at Elsinore, where she is stationed for the purpose of carrying messages and dispatches from Denmark to Sweden, a neutral ship being now become necessary. The capt. has orders to exact the most rigid discipline in point of respect to the British flag. It was in this vessel that Mr. Elliot passed from Elsinore to Elsforde in Sweden. Mr. Linton, who is going to Elsforde as an envoy to the King of Sweden, will also be carried in the same cutter from Copenhagen to Stockholm.
Government are in daily expectation of dispatches from the honorable Hugh Elliot, his majesty's envoy to the king of Denmark, who is gone to Carlstadt, to confer with the Swedish monarch. The answer which the king of Sweden may return to his majesty's minister will have a great effect on the political movements of Great Britain and her allies.
The Swedish monarch has more credit for cool bravery than he really merits. Among the diplomatic and higher political circle, it is well known that the Swedish revolution did not originate in the mind of Gustavus, but in the late Vergennes, who was then the French minister at Stockholm. The mighty monarch trembled when he drew his sword, and would have retracted, had it not been for the spirited admissions of the ambassador. It is not, the story goes, improbable but another revolution may soon happen in that kingdom.
The King of Sweden, it is said, has requested the mediation of our Court, in conjunction with Prussia, and the States General, to make peace for him with Russia; previous to which it seems, Mr. Pitt insists upon settling some preliminaries at Stockholm, respecting the influence which France is hereafter to possess in the Swedish Councils; and to this our Court Ministry are supposed to be now attending. The King of Prussia, by his Minister at Copenhagen, has made strong remonstrances, that Denmark shall not go to further co-operation with Russia, than are stipulated by the treaty; but in spite of his intimation, Denmark is making such preparations, as indicate a desire of going farther, so that no leading opinion can yet be formed, upon what foundation the possibility of peace.
The Turks have been able to penetrate too far into the Imperial territories; the Austrians ought to have known this; perhaps, indeed, the Turks themselves have not acted wisely in going too far from home, unless they can keep up such an army as will be able to cope with any combined force the enemy may bring into the field. Every thing depends on the party that shall be superior in a regular engagement. At present the conduct of the grand vizir, in avoiding that where a very important point is not in view, cannot be too much commended. Throwing his enemies will weaken their force, in every respect, much more effectually than knocking a few thousands on the head.
On Saturday morning, between the hours of one and three o'clock, the palace of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, was burglariously broken open by some villains, it is supposed several in number; who got over the garden wall, and entered the house, by breaking through the brick-work which has been recently erected to block up a door at the end of the passage that leads immediately to the plate-rooms, from whence they stole articles amounting to upwards of two thousand pounds sterling.
OCTOBER 16.
A certain great personage is said to be much hurt at the rashness of his nephew, the Prince of Denmark. The unprovoked attack on Sweden is a violation of the late Danish declaration to that court, who solemnly affirmed that they would only fulfil their treaty with Russia, according to the letter, like a German principality's quota to the Emperor; but on no account would the Danes take an active and really hostile part against Sweden. Russian gold, and a strong letter of intimation from the Empress to the young Prince, has effected this rash and unjustifiable measure.
From Gotterden, Sept. 27, we are informed, that the Norwegian army, who have invaded Sweden, were then on their march towards Quinton Bridge, three Swedish miles North of Uddevalla, where their further progress, it is thought, will be disputed.
B O S T O N, Dec. 2.
The Hon. TIMOTHY PAINE, Esq. of Worcester, is in nomination for a Representative to the Federal Congress.
There is little doubt, says a correspondent, but the hon. SAMUEL A. OTIS, Esq. will gain the suffrages of his fellow citizens at the ensuing election for Federal Representative.
As the time for choosing a Representative for the Federal Court, is near at hand, the Hon. SAMUEL ADAMS is reported as a candidate, his great abilities, tried integrity, and thorough knowledge of government, is equalled by few, excelled by none, and having proved himself a good pilot in times of political danger, during the late war, his friends in town and country are determined to give him their suffrages in preference to any other gentleman.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, Dec. 10.
A manufacturing correspondent expresses an earnest wish, that the real and useful manufacturers at Bethlehem would undertake the cotton manufacture with machinery. They have houses prepared—money—undoubted credit—children to pick and women to rope the cotton—women to spin the linen thread and bleach the goods—ground, water and aqueducts suitable for complete bleach-yards. The simple business of dying drab and olive colours they could easily acquire. Add to all these, that they are very industrious and economical. In short no body of people in America appear to have such qualifications and conveniences to carry on this profitable manufacture, to their private profit, and the public good. It is the more hoped they will not be insensible of what appears a sort of duty incumbent on that valuable society.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 15.
On Wednesday last a sufficient number of members of the senate and assembly of this state met, to make a quorum.—The assembly chose the hon. JOHN LANSING, Esq. their speaker; after which his Excellency the Governor delivered the following speech to both houses:
Gentlemen of the Senate and Assembly,
I WAS induced to convene you at this time, that I might have a seasonable opportunity of laying before you the proceedings of the convention of this state lately held at Poughkeepsie, and the ordinance of Congress for putting into operation, the constitution for the United States, which was adopted by that convention.
While I submit this important subject to the legislature, it is my duty to call your particular attention to the amendments proposed by our convention, to this new system of general government. It will appear from the instrument of ratification, that a declaration of rights with certain explanations, are inserted, in order to remove doubtful constructions, and to guard against an undue and improper administration, and that it was assented to on the express confidence that the exercise of different powers would be suspended until it should undergo a revision by a general convention of the states. You will also perceive by the circular letter addressed to our sister states, that several articles of it appeared to be exceptionable to a majority of the convention, that nothing short of the fullest confidence of obtaining such a revision, could have prevailed upon a sufficient number to have ratified it without stipulating for previous amendments, and that all united in opinion, that a speedy revival of the system would be necessary to recommend it to the approbation and support of a numerous body of our constituents, and to allay the apprehensions and discontent which the exceptional articles of it had occasioned. These considerations, and a conviction of the truth of the observation, "that no government, however constructed, can operate well, unless it possesses the confidence and good will of the great body of the people," will, I am persuaded, be sufficient to engage your best endeavours for effecting a measure so earnestly recommended by the convention, and anxiously desired by your constituents.
Gentlemen,
In conformity to the law passed the last session, appointing commissioners to hold treaties with the Indians residing within this state, I now deliver to you a report of their proceedings, containing copies of treaties entered into with the Oneida and Onondago nations. I flatter myself that these transactions, in which not only the peace and prosperity of the state, but the welfare of the Indians, were consulted, will merit the approbation of the legislature, and that such provision will be made, as shall appear to be necessary for a faithful observance of those treaties. An account of the expenses attending this service, shall be laid before you as soon as it can be arranged and adjusted; and when you consider the embarrassments which occurred in the course of these negotiations, and the magnitude of the objects which have been accomplished, I trust you will be of opinion that the strictest economy has been observed.
Gentlemen of the Senate and Assembly,
I shall leave with you the requisition of the United States in Congress, for the federal services of the current year, together with such other communications relative to the general concerns of the Union as have been made to me in the recess. I have also directed the necessary returns and estimates from our treasury and other public offices to be laid before you, to assist you in your deliberations on the means for reducing the debt of the state, and supporting and advancing its credit. A business which you will readily agree is of the first importance to the weal and honor of the state.
Gentlemen,
When I reflect on the great change which is soon to take place in the general government, and the influence it may have on the police and revenues of the state, I am sensible it will be a difficult task to determine on the measures most proper to be pursued at this time; but I have confidence in your wisdom, and that all your decisions will be influenced by a regard for the interests of your constituents.
Permit me only to observe, that in whatever situation we may be placed, a steady attention to the promotion of agriculture, and the introduction and encouragement of the arts, are essential to the prosperity of our country. For it is from these alone we are to derive our principal resources for profitable commerce—and it is with the blessings of Heaven, by industry and frugality as well as by the justice and stability of our laws, that we can expect to insure respectability abroad, or happiness at home.
GEO. CLINTON.
Albany, 11th December, 1788.
On Saturday cleared out at the custom-house, the brig Triton , Howland, for Havre-de-Grace; Caroline, Mead, Wilmington; Schooner Polly , Todd, St. Thomas; Eagle , Gardner, Shelburne; and Hood , Delight, Seymour, Norway.
DIED—On Monday the 1st inst. at Laningsburgh, Capt. JERONEMUS HOOGLAND, in the 31st year of his age. This gentleman is one of the many worthy deaths that may, in a great measure, be attributed to their warm attachment to, and the many severe hardships they encountered for the welfare of their country. At an early period of the late revolution, he, at the age of eighteen, joined the troops of this state, and while serving as adjutant in the regiment to which he belonged, was ordered with a reconnoitering party, to observe the motions of the enemy, as they were advancing towards the American lines on Long-Island, in the year 1776; on which duty he was made a prisoner, and confined on board the prison ship in New-York harbor; in which situation he suffered every thing but death, from the brutal inhumanity of the commander of the ship. After being released from imprisonment, and re-joining his brethren in arms, he was presented with a commission in a regiment of light dragoons, commanded by Col. Elisha Sheldon, in which regiment he served during the war—respected as an officer—esteemed as a man—and beloved as a friend.
The Hon. Joshua Seney, Benjamin Contee and David Ross, Esquires, are appointed by the general assembly of Maryland to represent that state in Congress, until the commencement of the new federal government.
The hon. the general assembly of Pennsylvania have been pleased to grant to an ingenious European artist the sum of one hundred pounds (besides a very generous price) as a premium for his constructing a hand machine for carding cotton wool, and another for spinning cotton yarn. Six sets of similar machines, we are informed, have been procured by six associations in the United States. We hope soon to hear of more extensive machines by horse and by water, as the principles are the same upon the large and small scale. The manufacturing committee in Philadelphia have commenced the sale of corduroys, federal rib, cottons, &c. made by these machines.
From the NEWPORT HERALD.
A Tete a Tete or Whispering Dialogue, between Jonathan from the South, and the Hermit in the North, as it was carried on in the General Assembly, at Providence, October Sessions, 1788.
Hermit. WELL, Jonathan, I am very happy to find you consider a seat in this House of more consequence at this time than your own interest in Congress by your influence we shall be able to put a negative on all the proposals of the damned Federalists.
Jonathan. I am equally happy in seeing your attention to the righteous cause—we are engaged in, although you are not a member of this House, your mandate are held by the majority decisive. I hope to see you always con-
firm them by the words, par, first quarter forfeit after two months, &c. &c.
Her. I am well convinced of the usefulness of my attendance at this time, and have stated myself as a representative, for the town of Providence; knowing myself to be an over balance to the other four; and that a self approbating smile will command the affirmative, and a stern staring look obtain the negative from our majority.
Jon. We have little other business this session, than paying the four per cent. notes, negating the Federalists and sending forth something to amuse the people, and induce them to re-elect us and our friends again next spring.
Her. Hold, friend Jonathan, not so fast as to pay the four per cent. notes by one vote, left you bring private debtors into trouble by a consequential repeal of the tender law which the damned Federalists have such an itching to get rid of, that we, debtors, ought to keep more eyes than one upon them, left they entrap us.
Jon. You are right, friend Hermit, we will make quarterly payments on the four per cent. notes, it will spin out time, and retain our importance much longer. The Federalists can as easily make Pawtuxet River overflow Chapmush Hill and drown the Rios General, as change the tenements of our freemen, so long as one government note is outstanding.
Her. I have just received a piece of news, if true, we must use a little political wisdom to avoid something that may cast light into the dark lanterns.—I am informed by one of my newfangleders, that your colleague, Mr. A. is arrived in town from New-York; and as he has lately manifested some Federal principles, he may, if admitted here, contaminate some of our majority, and bring us into disagreeable circumstances.
Jon. Friend Hermit, step down town and search out the truth of this report—if you find him, as 'tis just night, smuggle him into bed with a complaint of the head-ach and lassitude, and there let him dream of his own importance until the Assembly rises, if he is not sent to Congress again, he can retire to his country tavern, and deal out white-faced, sing, and mislead his customers.
Her. As he knows I promoted him to the high post of honor he now sustains, he dare not show himself in this house without first having my approbation.
Jon. Hasten, dear Hermit, to complete this resolve in politics, and should the intelligence of the delegates return, come before the house, I will inform them it is a mistake, and you know the majority won't refuse believing me if I should lie a little now and then to serve out time.
Her. The business I went upon is completed; your colleague is safely brought to bed without the aid of a physician or midwife; there let him rest till morning when he may show himself among the Federalists and complain of his last night's indisposition.
Jon. Mr. Hermit, now we have ordered quarterly payments for the four per cent. notes, bed ridden the delegates for twelve hours, there is only one thing more, the most plausible way to amuse the people; after which this Assembly may rise and ride home on Sunday morning.
Her. What think you of Governor Clinton's Circular Letter?
Jon. It is the new buildings of antipederalism—a better foundation we cannot have to work upon than the principles therein contained. I will call the master before the house, and get an order to have it printed and sent out amongst the people at large, to know whether they will call a convention agreeable to his recommendation, that we may first alter and amend a system of government we have had no hand in making, before we will agree to adopt it.
Her. Your sentiments exactly coincide with mine, let's complete this matter and the session this night; after which I can go home and sleep soundly, without dreaming of a continental government, or the duns of any damned Federalist I am indebted to.
Jon. As the assembly have ordered me to Congress, to make matters more plausible there, I will show a face of condescension, deal a little in duplicity, hold forth on all occasions that the freemen in this state are changing their sentiments, and will join in the general government, after our new convention have completed the amendments.
Her. To-morrow being sabbath-day, vulgarly so called by the go-to-meeting folks, I will mount my old nag and jog out as far as Monkey-Town to meet a Sunday collection of our good friends, where I intend to deliver a dissertation on the advantages of our present well-regulated government to those gaping dram-drinkers at Knight's Tavern.

A gentleman meeting an acquaintance whom he had seen for some time, whilst expressing his surprise at his absence, he happened to espied a spot of grease upon his coat. The other informed his friend that he had been travelling. Oh, rejoined the first, you have been to greace (Greece) a perceptive, pointing to the spot. The other to humor the pun, observed, that he went a great way for his wit; no, truly, says he, I found it on the spot.

To the Public. AN attempt having been made by a certain per- son, to occasion a belief of his having my re- ceipt for preparing the SPECIFIC SOLUTION; I do solemnly declare, that no one (except a gentleman of the medical line, in the state of Maryland, whose honor I could rely on for keeping it to himself) ever had from me the receipt; that the discovery is en- tirely my own, made during my residence in the island of St. Kitts, where I had under my care (as Surgeon to the estates of the Hon. John Julius, Esq. and ge- neral Mathew) upwards of 500 negroes, for more than two years; that during my practice on those es- tates seventy-four Venereal patients came under my care, that the Specific Remedy was the only one used, and that it never failed me: To prove which, any gentleman is heartily welcome to peruse a cer- tificate given me by the Hon. John Julius, on my re- signing the practice of the estates.—As a regular bred Surgeon, I never should have offered a nostrum to the public, but being a very sickly person, ren- dered by disease incapable of attending much to out door practice, I could not conceive it derogatory to the dignity of physical character to bring home that business which want of health would not allow my at- tending abroad. The public may rest assured that no person has my receipt for the preparing the Specific Remedy, and will therefore guard against its being intruded on them as such. S H E E D. Nov. 14. 2w No. 70, Cherry-street.
Specific Solution. PROVED fully (even in this city) 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 va- luable medicine was first offered, afforded an op- portunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced its virtues within a very short space of time; and many could vouch or its quick effects were it admissible; but the na- ture of the complaint forbids the idea. The dis- covery 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. Sept. 25.

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 pre- serving 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 Bri- tish 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, oneayed 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 after- wards 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 grass 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 paved 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 bot- tom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crossfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York, For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institu- tion to the particular attention of their fel- low-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institu- tion affords a sure asylum to them in case of dis- tress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of ac- cidents, if they neglect to secure the property en- trusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office prevents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and sup- port. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect par- taking of the till an accident happens, the bare- faced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now over- come, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.  FIRST RATE. THAT for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party- walls carried twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premi- um 3/ deposit, 2/ total, 15/.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other building, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4/ deposit, 16/, total, 2/.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the pre- mium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5/ deposit, 1/ total, 1/.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other building, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are co- vered wholly with shingles, the premium and de- posit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6/ deposit, 1/ 4 total, 1/ 10.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed house, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and de- posit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7/ deposit, 1/ 8 total, 1/ 15.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on ev- ery hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—pre- mium, 8/ deposit, 1/ 12 total, 2/.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10/ deposit, 2/ total, 2/ 10/.
The expense therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:— Premium on £. 500 at 7/ per cent. £. 1 15 0 Deposit, at 28/ per cent. 7 0 0 Policy and badge, 0 10 0 £. 9 5 0
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the ex- piration of seven years, is 7 0 0 £. 2 5 0
Which shews the expense of insuring £. 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing a sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, fill- house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or busi- nesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, ship chandlers, tallow chandlers, stable-keepers, ta- vern-keepers, printers, malt-diers, oil or co- lormen; or which are used as stores for hazard- ous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpow- der, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreashed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is establish- ed on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settle- ment.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a di- rector.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary, No. 57, King-street. December 2, 1788. 1m.
