L O N D O N, July 15.  From the London Gazette, July 12. S. James's, July 2. The following address of the agents for the American Loyalists has been presented to the King by Sir Wm. Pepperell, Bart. and the other agents, being introduced by the Lord of his majesty's bed chamber in waiting: Which address his majesty was pleased to receive very graciously, and they all had the honor to kiss his majesty's hand.
To the KING'S Most Excellent Majesty, The humble Address of the Agents for the American Loyalists.
Most Gracious Sovereign, YOUR Majesty's ever dutiful and loyal subjects the agents for the American Loyalists, who have heretofore been the supplicants of your majesty, on behalf of their distressed constituents, now humbly beg leave to approach your throne, to pour forth the ardent effusions of their grateful hearts for your most gracious and effectual recommendation of their claims to the just and generous consideration of parliament.
To have devoted their fortunes, and hazarded their lives in defence of the just rights of the crown, and the fundamental principles of the British constitution, were no more than their duty demanded of them, in common with your majesty's other subjects; but it was their peculiar fortune to be called to the trial; and it is their boast and glory to have been found equal to the task. They have now the distinguished happiness of seeing their fidelity approved by their sovereign, and recompensed by parliament; their fellow subjects cheerfully contributing to compensate them for the forfeitures their attachment to Great Britain incited them to incur; thereby adding dignity to their own exalted character among the nations of the world, and holding out to mankind the glorious principles of justice, equity, and benevolence, as the firmest basis of empire.
We should be wanting in justice and gratitude, if we did not, upon this occasion, acknowledge the wisdom and liberality of the provisions proposed by your majesty's servants, conformable to your majesty's gracious intentions, for the relief and accommodation of the several classes of sufferers to whose cases they apply; and we are convinced it will give comfort to your royal breast to be assured they have been received with the most general satisfaction.
Professions of the unalterable attachment of the Loyalists to your majesty's person and government we conceive to be unnecessary; they have preserved it under persecution, and gratitude cannot render it less permanent. They do not presume to arrogate to themselves a more fervent loyalty than their fellow subjects possess; but, distinguished as they have been by their sufferings, they deem themselves entitled to the foremost rank among the most zealous supporters of the constitution. And while they cease not to offer up their most earnest prayers to the Divine Being to preserve your majesty, and your illustrious family, in the peaceful enjoyment of your just right, and in the exercise of your royal virtues in promoting the happiness of your people, they humbly beseech your majesty to continue to believe them, at all times, and upon all occasions, equally ready, as they have been, to devote their lives and properties to your majesty's service, and the preservation of the British constitution.
W. Pepperell, for the Massachusetts Loyalists. J. Wentworth, Jun. for the New-Hampshire Loyalists. George Rome, for the Rhode-Island Loyalists. Ja. Delancey, for the New-York Loyalists.

The Public may depend on the authenticity of the following important Rescript . NOTE delivered the 18th of June by the Russian Ambassador at Stockholm to the Swedish Ministry.
IN consequence of the various objects which the under written envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the imperial court of Russia has lately conferred upon with his Excellency count D'Oxenstheim, he has the honor now to present to him a lucid recapitulation of the same in the present note.
Whatever may have been the surprise of the Empress my sovereign, when she was informed of the armaments carrying on in Sweden, her imperial majesty not seeing any just motives which could occasion them, resolved to be silent as long as those motives should be confined to the interior parts of the kingdom. But being apprised of the motives alleged by the senator count D'Oxenstheim to the minister of Denmark, and which he, in consequence of the intimacy subsisting between the two courts communicated to the underwritten, her imperial majesty has resolved to break silence, and given orders to the underwritten to enter into the following explanations with his Swedish majesty's ministers.
During 26 years of her reign, the Empress has not ceased to give constant testimonies to the King, and to the whole Swedish nation, of her wish to cultivate the most perfect harmony and good neighbourhood, such as the last peace has established between the two states; if, therefore, in the midst of the repose which her empire enjoyed from its other neighbors, her imperial majesty has never conceived the least idea of disturbing, or altering, in any shape, the order of things, it would be arguing against every degree of probability to attribute it to her now, when she finds herself in a war which has been unjustly inflicted against her by a powerful enemy, and to which she cannot give too much attention. Provoked in this manner to display all the means which she holds from Providence, to repel the attack of her enemy, she has not failed to make an amicable communication of it to all the Christian powers, particularly she observed this conduct, when she resolved to arm a fleet to send into the Archipelago; which intention the underwritten did, by her orders, communicate to the Swedish ministers.
All these dispositions and preparations being therefore visible and singly directed to the circumstances which Russia found herself in, were in no shape of a nature to alarm any neighbor that did not nourish some secret intention to multiply her embarrassments, and take advantage of them. But, admitting for a moment that the court of Russia had supposed such designs, that of Sweden, however contrary they are to the faith of treaties which bind them, found reasoning, as well as the interest of the first, would have confined all her measures to prevent its effects, and not provoke them; and in fact, such as prudence dictated, and were adopted, after the rumours which were spread on all sides, of the armaments carrying on in Sweden.
Russian troops in Finland, and the despatch of the usual squadron, that annually cruises in the Baltic to exercise the seamen; a custom which Sweden has never given any attention, or occasioned any umbrage. Nevertheless, her armaments were daily advancing and increasing, without the court of Stockholm thinking proper to give any formal notice of it to the court at Petersburg, and then at last they were prepared. The Senator, count D'Oxenstheim, in the name of the King, did not fail to declare to the minister of a court, strongly allied to Vienna; and consequently, it may be presumed, not bound to conceal it from us, that those preparations were directed against Russia, on a supposition, that Sweden was threatened to be attacked by her.
In this situation the Empress, on her side, has as readily ordered the underwritten to declare to his Swedish majesty's ministry, and to all those who have any share in the administration, that her imperial majesty, could not give them a more solid proof of her pacific disposition towards them, and of the interest she takes in the preservation of their tranquility, than by assuring them, on her royal word, that all the opposite intentions which some might impute to her, are void of all foundation; but, if after an alliance so formal and so positive, joined to arguments so plain and convincing, are not sufficient to re-establish the calm and tranquillity; her imperial majesty is resolved to await the event, with that confidence and security, which the purity and innocence of her intentions inspires her with, as well as the powerful means which the Almighty has put into her hands, and which she has never employed but for the glory of her empire, and the happiness of her subjects.
Stockholm, June 18, 1788. (Signed) COUNT ANDREU RARAMOTSKY.

Extracts from the Journal of Congress. FRIDAY, August 29, 1788. ON the report of a committee consisting of Mr. Williamson, Mr. Dane, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Tucker, and Mr. Sherman, to whom was referred the report of a former committee respecting the inhabitants of Post St. Vincents,
Resolved, That measures be taken for confirming in their possessions and titles the French and Canadian inhabitants and other settlers at Post St. Vincents, who on or before the year 1783, had settled there, and professed themselves of the United States, or any of them, and for laying off to them at their own expence, the several tracts which they rightfully claim, and which may have been allotted to them according to the laws and usages of the governments under which they have respectively settled.
That four hundred acres of land be reserved and given to every head of a family of the above description settled at Post St. Vincents.
That the governor of the western territory cause to be laid out at the public expence, in the form of a square, adjoining to the present improvements at Post St. Vincents, and in whatever direction the settlers shall prefer, a tract of land sufficient for completing the above donations; which tract shall afterwards be divided by lot among the settlers who are entitled to any part of the same, in such manner as they shall agree.
On a report of the same committee, the following instructions to the governor of the western territory were agreed to:
S I R, YOU are to proceed without delay, except while you are necessarily detained by the treaty now on hand, to the French settlements on the river Mississippi, in order to give dispatch to the several measures which are to be taken according to the acts of the 20th June 1811, and the 23th instant, of which a copy is enclosed for your information. You are to enquire whether there be any Indians who claim the lands on the east side of the river Mississippi, above the mouth of the Ohio—and if there be any such Indians, you are immediately to take measures for holding a treaty with them, and extinguishing their claim at least to so much of the territory as you find described in the aforesaid acts, and in the several acts of October 22d, 1787, relative to lands on the Mississippi. If you find itcheapest and best to extinguish the claim of those Indians by agreeing to furnish them annually with a certain allowance in corn, or other provisions for a term not exceeding ten years, you will contract accordingly. When you have examined the titles and possessions of the settlers on the Mississippi in which they are to be confirmed, and given directions for laying out the several squares, which the settlers may divide as they shall think best among themselves by lot, you are to report the whole of your proceedings to Congress.
After you shall have dispatched the several matters committed to your care on the Mississippi, you will take post St. Vincents on your return, where you are to pursue the measures directed to be taken by the act of this day, and report your proceedings accordingly.
The following is a genuine Copy of a Publishment, which Mr. M c R e n, one of the Parties, procured to be printed at New-London, in the year 1746, probably to pass on the Meeting-House Door, agreeable to the Custom of that Day.
GOD who created, redeems and preserveth us, R T -L D M c R e -N of Lyme, and M c R e -N L O G of Colchester, Widow, hath knit our Souls together in the Bond of divine Love, called Charity; hath also disposed our Understandings, bowed our Wills, and inclined our Affections towards each other for the purpose of a temporal Marriage: Whereupon our Souls have blessed the Lord, and desire all the Saints to join with us therein. And all you Saints of the Most High to whom this may come, pray for us, that we may abound in the en-
forming Effect of the Divine Nature, of which we are made Partakers, according to the glorious and precious Promises of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 Pet. 1. 4. And that we may walk in all the Commandments and Ordinances of the Lord blameless.—And that it may please God to bless us in all our temporal Employments and Enjoyments. All which we desire to ask in a deep Submission to the Divine Will, wherein after a short Pilgrimage, we shall be swallowed up world without end, AMEN. June 26th, 1746.
MR. CHILD S, MANY of the most respectable inhabitants of the North-Ward, actuated by the same wishes, to see a reform in the magistracy of our city, that influenced the conduct of the gentlemen who met at the City Tavern, had, previous to that meeting, determined to propose to the Electors of the Ward, Col. Lewis for their Alderman, and had actually taken measures to secure his election. When the result of the deliberations of that meeting made its appearance in print, they would have doubted its authenticity, but from the respectability of the name subscribed to it; being scarcely able to persuade themselves, that such a thing had taken place, without the least previous intimation being given to persons who certainly ought to have been consulted upon a subject so materially affecting their rights and interests. A Committee of them therefore waited on Mr. Maxwell, dated to him the embarrassments they were under from the measures already taken by them, his subsequent nomination, and their fears of the consequences that might result from a division among persons who had professedly the same object in view; declaring they had already proceeded too far in the business now to relinquish Mr. Lewis, and that such conduct might produce an opinion of fickleness and wavering prejudicial to their cause. Mr. Maxwell, sensible of the force of their observations, resigned with the propriety and cheerfulness which, in the minds of the Committee, did him the honor, and convinced them he had nothing at heart but the interests of the city. This resignation appeared to the Committee voluntary, unconstrained, and by no means the effect of delicacy of situations; nor was there any thing in the manner of it to justify the most remote idea of extortion. Similar declarations have been made by him to gentlemen of his acquaintance, when certainly he could have been under no constraint. After this explicit and unequivocal resignation, Mr. Maxwell continues a candidate for the office. This produces some warmth and altercation at the Coffee-House: Mr. Maxwell's name is struck out of the list published in the Daily Advertiser of Friday, and Mr. Lewis's inserted. The friends of Mr. Maxwell not satisfied to give him up, and as if persuaded that instability of character would be a recommendation with the people, in the choice of a magistrate, bring him forward on Saturday, with an assurance to the public, that Mr. Lewis's name had been inserted from misinformation.—You, Mr. Childs, as a man of candor, and impartiality, are bound to acquaint the public, who was the author of that misinformation, and who directed a correction of the error. None of Mr. Lewis's friends can have had an agency in the business; for you certainly are too correct a Printer, to suffer the alteration of a publication unless authorised by the person from whom you receive the original.—With respect to what ought to be the conduct of Mr. Maxwell on this occasion, I confess I differ from the author of the piece in Saturday's paper.—After the assurance he has given, that he not only would decline, but that he would give Mr. Lewis his vote and interest, I think his honor is only to be preserved by a compliance with his engagement, and I don't doubt, he has so much of the true Caledonian spirit in him, as to be of my opinion.
An Elector of the North-Ward.
The Printer, in the above, is called upon to inform the public who gave the misinformation:—This he has done by the following affidavits.
City of New-York, ss. PERSONALLY appeared William W. Gilbert , Esq. one of the Aldermen of said City, William Robins , who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, That on Thursday evening last, being at his work, in the office of Francis Childs , Printer, of this City, that he did, of his own free will and accord, without receiving any direction from the said Francis Childs , or any other person or persons, take out the name of William Maxwell , in the nomination for Aldermen and Assistants, signed by Nicholas Low , and instead thereof insert the name of Col. Morgan Lewis ; and that his motive for so doing was occasioned by the information of Carey Dunn , senior, of this City, who, on that evening, brought to the Printing-Office a piece signed "The Free Electors," at the same time informing this deponent that Mr. Maxwell had declined in favor of Col. Lewis.
Sworn before me, this 22d day of Sept. 1788. Wm. W. GILBERT, Alderman.
City of New-York, ss. PERSONALLY appeared Thomas Claxton , one of the Aldermen of said City, William W. Gilbert , Esq. who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that he was present on Thursday evening last at the time that Carey Dunn , senior, informed William Robins that Mr. Maxwell had declined in favor of Col. Lewis, and that the foregoing statement of the fact by Wm. Robins , is just and true.

Those who think proper to consult him, may rely on finding the strictest attention paid to them; and when necessary the most inviolable secrecy observed.—Apply at No. 9, Cherry Street. Sept. 5.
