From the Cork Evening Post of August 21, 25, 28.
VIENNA, August 2.
Accounts received by prince Gallitzen, from the Russian army, mention a third engagement between the Russian and Turkish fleets, in the Dnieper, on the 12th of July last, in which the Turks lost a frigate, a large gun boat, and a galley. The captain Pacha was forced to quit the mouth of the Dnieper, and on the following night the prince of Nassau began the bombardment of Oczakow, with such success as to set fire to the town in various places. Prince Potemkin had likewise invested it by land; but as his heavy artillery was not then arrived, he had not been able to begin a regular siege.
AUGUST 6.
By the last accounts from Choczim we learn, that the provisions in that fortress having been entirely destroyed by the fire from the batteries, the prince de Cobourg, and general Salikow on the 26th of July summoned the place to surrender; but the garrison having desired a delay of three days for deliberation, and a suspension of hostilities, their request was complied with. [London Gazette.]
WARSAW, July 18.
The war department has ordered the palatine of Russia to withdraw the troops of the republic from the frontiers, to make room for those of the Russians and Austrians.
STOCKHOLM, July 26.
Yesterday de Loom was hung here, under repeated discharges of artillery, for the grand naval victory obtained by the arms of Sweden over those of Russia, off Hoogland.
From the LOWER ELBE, July 28.
Nineteen Swedish merchantmen have been arrested in the port of Peterburgh, and seven in that of Riga.
It is now confirmed that Bender, as well as Oczakow is closely besieged by the Russians.
LONDON, August 15.
It was yesterday reported that an army of 50,000 Prussians had marched to the support of the Swedes. We do not give any credit to it.
AUGUST 20.
As soon as the Prince Potemkin arrived with the Imperial army near Oczakow, and had reconnoitered the place, he found that the ships which had retired in the preceding combat, and especially the galleys that carried large pieces of cannon, would be in a state to impede our army from approaching the fort, to bombard it. In consequence of which, he gave commission to the prince of Nassau Siegen to attack those vessels, which he accordingly did in the night between the 11th and 12th of July, with an extraordinary courage and intrepidity. The fight lasted eight hours, under the cannon of the place. The enemy's vessels were sunk; we took one galley, and the others having suffered from our fire, were forced to run ashore on the coast. In order to support our fleet, and to divide the attention of the enemy, the prince Potemkin made at the same time a false attack on the land. The light troops of the advanced guard surrounded the town. The corps of chasseurs of Livonia occupied the garden, and covered our battery, which was at the point of the entrenchment, and so near the town that we could hear the explosion of the cartridges. Our artillery, altho' not supported better than when exercised, silenced the cannon of the enemy, and we lost only one attendant of them, who was killed with his horse near the battery.
During the action, the princes Repnin and Geo. Dolgorucki, as also lieut. gen. Potemkin, who commanded the troops employed on this expedition, were at the battery, accompanied by count Branicki, great general of Poland, and the prince de Ligne. The brigadier Verkonfki, commandant of the chasseurs, distinguished himself with great ability in elevating the cannon, after the destruction of the enemy's vessels, the fleet directed their fire against the town with such success, that the upper part is nearly reduced to ashes. The enemy lost on this occasion two frigates of 20 guns each, a brig of 10 guns, and a Kirlangitich of 12; a bomb galley, with a mortar and 4 pieces of cannon; five fifty-oared galleys, with each a 36, and 4 12 pounders; besides two transports, with 80 puds of gun powder; a gun boat with one 24, and one 12 pounder. Total, 100 pieces of cannon.
The late success of the Czarina's arms in the Black sea, and the advantages lately gained by the emperor's troops on the frontiers, have induced the two Imperial courts to offer terms of peace to the Turks; if accepted, it is more than probable that the united forces of both empires will fall on the Swedes and Prussians. The disposition of the latter to espouse the cause of Sweden, and to thwart his Imperial majesty on some occasions, has inclined the courts of Peterburgh and Vienna to exert the whole of their force against those powers.
Copy of a note inserted in the Peterburgh Gazette, by order of the empress, on the 18th of July.
"The king of Sweden, by commencing hostilities on his side, having broke the peace which subsisted between the empire of Russia, and the crown of Sweden, has sent to the legation who resides here on his part, a note to transmit to the Imperial minister of Russia. In this note the king alleges many improper and false motives which urged him to the necessity of arming for a war; and he finishes by proposing conditions which he requires to establish peace. These conditions are as follows:
1st. That the Count de Rasumofsky, minister of the empress, shall be exemplary punished for having made use of all sorts of illicit means, to trouble the friendship, trust and good understanding among the people, and that by this example others may be prevented from ever meddling in the domestic affairs of an independent kingdom.
2d. That to indemnify him for his war expences, her Imperial majesty shall cede in perpetuity to the king all that part of Finland and of Cachelia, with the government and town of Kexholm in the same state as those countries were abandoned to Russia by the treaties of peace made at Nystadt and d'Abo, and that Susterbe shall in future be deemed the frontier.
3d. That her Imperial majesty shall accept the mediation of the king of Sweden to effect a peace with the Ottoman Porte, and that she shall authorize the king to propose to the Porte, "the absolute cession of the Crimea and the demarcation of limits conformable to the treaty of peace made in 1774." That in case, the king cannot engage the Porte to make peace on these conditions, it shall be proposed to the latter to regulate the limits as they were before the war of 1768. And that for the surety of these sacrifices, her Imperial majesty shall disarm her fleet—that she shall recall from the Baltic the ships sent there as well as the troops of the new conquered provinces; and that she shall consent that the king of Sweden shall remain armed until peace is concluded between Russia and the Porte.
At the end of the note he adds, "That the king of Sweden is waiting for an answer, Yes or No ,"
and that he will abide nothing in the above conditions."
"It is left to the impartial and enlightened world to judge of the value of such propositions. In consequence, by order of her Imperial majesty, it was signified by the general in chief, count de Bruce commandant of this city to Mr. Schlat, who acts as secretary of the Swedish legation here, and who delivered the above note.
"That he quits this place as soon as possible with all the legations and the couriers that his court had sent to him, to him, and that they retire immediately without the Russian frontiers."
AUGUST 19.
Before admiral Greig took his departure from Cronstadt with the Russian fleet, he received from the emperor of Germany a present of ten thousand roubles, with an estate in Livonia of four thousand five hundred roubles a year. It is thought that he was proceeding on some expedition, and not merely on a cruise, as he had taken on board six thousand troops. These must have considerably increased the carnage in the action with the Swedes.
The second squadron that was fitting out at Carlscron, is arrived in the gulf of Finland. Three thousand men that were on board, will reinforce the king's army; and the ships will render the duke's fleet infinitely superior to the Russians.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated August 1.
"In compliance with the patriotic views of our gracious sovereign, this capital is at length honored with the establishment of a royal society for the encouragement of agriculture, manufactures, commerce and navigation, of which his excellency the viscount de Villanova de Cervetia is appointed president and inspector general. With the like view, a new board is formed for the improvement of the royal manufactories of silk.
If Denmark joins Russia, the Swedes will directly fall upon the castle of Cronenburg and Elineur, both ill provided for any defence. Then the Danes would lose the revenue from entering the sound which is their principal finance for supporting government.
By a report from the commander of the troops in the Bannat, dated Mehadia the 22d of July, we learn, that a party of his troops had fallen in with 30 waggons laden with provisions, under an escort of 200 men, going to Belgrade, which they took and brought safe to the army."
On Thursday died at Margate, Thomas Sheridan, Esq. He was a credit and honor to the profession it was his lot in early life to embrace; and in the literary world his works on elocution and education prove him an eminent scholar and able writer; but what is higher praise, he was a man of the strictest honor, and of the most unblemished integrity. He was educated at Westminster school, a cotemporary of the present archbishop of York, afterwards at Dublin college, where he was esteemed one of the best scholars ever bred in that learned seminary. Mr. T. Sheridan, was son to the celebrated Dr. Sheridan, Dean Swift's distinguished friend, and father to Charles Sheridan, esquire, now secretary at war in Ireland, and R. B. Sheridan, esquire, member for Stafford.
IRISH NATIONAL DEBT.
Mr. Pitt has now under consideration a plan that will render him more popular in Ireland, than any minister ever was in that country.—This plan is for establishing a sinking fund, for the purpose of extinguishing, by degrees, the debts of the Irish government.
In former administrations, the object of the servants of the crown in Ireland, was to create new establishments, and then devise pretences, excuses and arguments, to prevail upon Parliament to make provision for the support of them; so that the government system of Ireland has hitherto invariably been to raise the revenue to the establishments, instead of reducing the establishments to a level with the revenue. But this system meets not with the approbation of a minister, who finding no other means of saving Great Britain from Bankruptcy, than the most rigid economy, has reduced the annual expences of England, even in the two great favorite services of the country—the navy and militia.
He has resolved, therefore, to propose certain reductions or regulations in the customs and excise of Ireland, from which considerable savings may be made, and which he proposes shall be appropriated to the gradual discharge of the debt of that kingdom. It is thought that those savings will produce about 30,000l. a year; which sum, it is proposed shall be increased to 80,000l. by a new tax, which, at the same time that it will not be burdensome to those upon whom it will be laid, will be the most popular that ever was proposed in the Irish parliament. This new tax is to fall upon the absentee owners of the estates in Ireland, & not to exceed sixpence in the pound. The 80,000l. to be raised annually by these two means, are to constitute a sinking fund, to be invariably applied by parliamentary trustees, to the gradual discharge of the Irish debt. This sinking fund, though not considerable in itself, may be deemed greater in proportion, than the annual million appropriated in England to a similar purpose, as the debt of the Irish government does not much exceed 3,000,000l. the whole of which will of course be discharged in something more than twenty years.
DUBLIN, August 23.
In a letter to a person of distinction in this city, received by yesterday's packet, we have the very important intelligence from the Hague, dated the afternoon of the 16th inst. "That a courier had on that day, at eleven o'clock, arrived at the Imperial ambassador's from Vienna, preceded by two hussars with horns, with an account that the town and fortress of Choczim, in Moldavia, had, on the morning of the 1st of August, opened its gates to the combined Imperialists, in consequence of a capitulation signed by the Seraskier, who commanded in the place, who could obtain no other terms than the garrison piling their arms outside the gates, and being allowed a safe conduct to Bender."
The judgment of the court-martial which sat upon lieutenant-colonel Campbell of the 9th
regiment of foot, on the charge of Mr. Gwynne, returned from England by yesterday's packet, after having been laid before his majesty at Cheltenham, and receiving his approbation. By this judgment the colonel is honorably acquitted of the several charges alleged against him. He proceeds immediately on his passage to join his regiment, which is now in the West-Indies.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 14.
Yesterday arrived the sloop Elizabeth & Mary, Cobb, from Kingston, Jamaica, 6 weeks; Countess of Galvez, Harris, Augustine, 23 days; and Minerva, Calhoun, R. Island, 4 days.
The building for the manufacturing of Window Glass, and other Glass Ware, in the town of Boston, lately set up by a number of patriotic gentlemen, is of brick, in the form of a sugar loaf, and we hear, will soon be completed. A large building, for the manufacturing of sail cloth is also nearly completed. Large sums of money have been sent abroad for these necessary articles, which it is hoped will now be saved.
Extract of a letter from Springfield, October 8.
"Last Friday four waggons, containing as many families, being upwards of thirty persons, passed through this town, on their way to the Ohio country. They were from the eastern part of this commonwealth. Should frequent emigrations from these states to that celebrated country continue, we may venture to predict that in half a century, it will be as famous for empire, as it now is for fertility."

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 Tuyll'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 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 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 sound 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 Tuyll, Stephen Crossfield, 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 va- luable medicine was first offered, afforded an op- portunity, 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 admis- sible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation what- ever. 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.
