L O N D O N, Oct. 10. The arrival of the Dutch and Flanders mails, which came on Thursday last, it was expected would have brought an account of some decisive action between Russia and the Porte, but no such thing has happened. A few skirmishes ending in nothing on the part of the two great belligerent powers, and a tendency to a peace between Sweden and Russia, form the whole of our last foreign intelligence.
On the 27th of September, at 3 o'clock, Blanchard ascended at Berlin, attached to his balloon, in the presence of his majesty, the royal family and many of the foreign princes. A building was erected, which encompassed the balloon; but when it was ready to ascend, half of it was pulled down to give the spectators a better view. Blanchard saluted his majesty, just as he quitted the earth, with a white flag, on which was displayed the royal black eagle. He went over the river Spree, and very quickly disappeared.
Among the few curious exhibitions with which Dubia has been lately entertained, not the least remarkable is that of a military preacher, who has figured away in a conspicuous manner at the Methodist meeting-house in Whitechapel-street. He is a clarinet player in the band of the 28th regiment, and after punctiliously discharging his duty in the morning, generally favors the public twice a week with a display of his oratorical abilities in the evening, and that equipped in his regimentals. So great a favorite is he with the body to whom he mostly holds forth, that thirty guineas, we understand, has been offered by some of its leading members, to the lieutenant-colonel of the 28th, for his discharge, which sum was refused.
We relate the following circumstance, which happened in the Bannat on the 14th ult. as it shews a noble fortitude, at the same time that it conveys a striking instance of the national hatred engendered in the breasts of the Maionians against the Christians.
A Turkish man and boy were loading a waggon with hay, when they were surprised by a foraging party of Austrians. The boy, though only twelve years of age, defended himself by two pistols on the top of the waggon with great bravery. When his powder and ball were expended, he made a noble resistance with a scythe, and wounded two Austrians very dangerously; but the horses in the waggon taking fright, it was overturned, and the man and boy much bruised. Both of them had bones broken, which, when examined by the surgeon, made the man cry with pain; but the boy bore all with the patience of an ancient Roman, and reproved his companion for his betraying his unselfishness before the Christian dogs.
An English lady of a happy and pleasant disposition, aged forty, en bon point , possessed of all the charms of conversation, mentally to entertain an elderly man of distinction, as companion, would embrace such a situation. To ch'ce the gloomy thought; soften the rack of pain; brighten the cloudy hour, from wisdom's glory, with brilliant taste displayed—would be her constant study; calming the turbulence of passion's rage; soothing and assuaging all the ills of life that man is heir to: endeavouring to make permanent the diadem of sweetest hope, to crown the intellectual throne with peace & joy supreme, of her loved employer! Increasing the felicity of her friend would best augment her own. She is conversant in the French and Italian Languages.
R I C H M O N D, (Virginia) Nov. 26. Extract from the Journal of the House of Delegates. F R I D A Y, Nov. 14, 1788.
The house, according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole house, on an application to Congress to call a convention of the states; to take into consideration the defects of the constitution, and report the necessary amendments; also on the draft of a letter to Governor Clinton, and to the several states on the same subject; and after some time spent therein, Mr. Speaker resumed the chair, and Mr. Bullitt reported, that the committee had, according to order, had the said application and draft of letters under their consideration, and amended the same; and he read the said application and draft of letters, as amended, in his place, and afterwards delivered them in at the clerk's table, where the same were again read and are as follows:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this committee, that an application ought to be made, in the name and on behalf of the legislature of this commonwealth, to the Congress of the United States, in the words following, to wit:
"The Good People of this commonwealth, in convention assembled, having ratified the constitution submitted to their consideration, this legislature has, in conformity to that act, and the resolutions of the United States in Congress assembled, to them transmitted, thought proper to make the arrangements that were necessary, for carrying it into effect. Having thus shown themselves obedient to the voice of their constituents, all America will find, that so far as it depended on them, that plan of government will be carried into immediate operation."
"But the sense of the people of Virginia would be but in part complied with, and but little regarded, if we went no further. In the very moment of adoption, and coeval with the ratification of the new plan of government, the general voice of the convention of this state, pointed to objects, no less in creating to the people we represent, and equally entitled to your attention. At the same time that from motives of affection for our sister states, the convention yielded their assent to the ratification, they gave the most unequivocal proofs that they dreaded its operation under the present form."
"In acceding to a government under this impression, painful must have been the prospect, had they not derived consolation from a full expectation of its imperfections being speedily amended. In this resource therefore, they placed their confidence—a confidence that will continue to support them whilst they have reason to believe they have not calculated upon it in vain."
"In making known to you the objections of the people of this commonwealth, to the new plan of government, we deem it necessary to enter into a particular detail of its defects, which they consider as involving all the great and unalienable rights of freemen: For their sense on this subject, we refer you to the proceedings of their late convention, and the sense of this general assembly, as expressed in their resolutions of the day of—"
"We think proper, however to declare, that in our opinion, as those objections were not founded in speculative theory, but deduced from principles, which have been established by the melancholy example of other nations in different ages—So they never will be removed until the cause itself shall cease to exist. The sooner therefore the public apprehensions are quieted, and the government is possessed of the confidence of the people, the more salutary will be its operations, and the longer its duration."
"The cause of amendments we consider as a common cause, and since concessions have been made from political motives, which we conceive may endanger the republic; we trust that a commendable zeal will be shown for obtaining those provisions, which experience has taught us are necessary to secure from danger, the unalienable rights of human nature."
"The anxiety with which our countrymen press for the accomplishment of this important end, will ill admit of delay. The slow forms of congressional discussion and recommendation, if indeed they should ever agree to any change, would we fear be less certain of success. Happily for their wishes, the constitution hath presented an alternative, by admitting the submission to a convention of the states. To this therefore we resort, as the source from whence they are to derive relief from their present apprehensions. We do therefore, in behalf of our constituents, in the most earnest and solemn manner, make this application to Congress, that a
from the several states, with full power to take into their consideration the defects of this constitution that have been suggested by the state conventions, and report such amendments thereto as they shall find best fitted to promote our common interests, and secure to ourselves, and our later posterity, the great and unalienable rights of mankind."
Draft of a Letter to Governor Clinton on the same Subject.
SIR,
"The letter from the convention of the state of New-York, hath been laid before us since our present session. The subject which it contemplated was taken up, and we have the pleasure to inform you, of the entire concurrence in sentiment between that honorable body, and the representatives in senate and assembly of the freemen of this commonwealth. The propriety of immediately calling a convention of the states, to take into consideration the defects of the constitution, was admitted, and in consequence thereof, an application agreed to, to be presented to the Congress so soon as it shall be convened, for the accomplishment of that important end. We herewith transmit to your excellency a copy of this application, which we request may be laid before your assembly at their next meeting. We take occasion to express our most earnest wishes that it may obtain the approbation of New-York, and of all our sister states."
Draft of a Letter to the several States on the Subject.
"The freemen of this state in convention assembled, having, at the same time that they ratified the federal constitution, expressed a desire that many parts which they consider as exceptionable parts, should be amended, the general assembly, as well from a sense of duty as a conviction of its defects, have thought proper to take the earliest measures in their power, for the accomplishment of this important object. They have accordingly agreed upon an application to be presented to the Congress so soon as it shall be assembled, requesting that honorable body to call a convention of deputies from the several states to take the same into their consideration, and report such amendments as they shall find best calculated to answer the purpose. As we conceive that all the good people of the United States are equally interested in obtaining those amendments that have been proposed, we trust that there will be an harmony in their sentiments and measures, upon this very interesting subject. We herewith transmit you a copy of this application, and take the liberty to subscribe our earnest wishes that it may have your concurrence."

P H I L A D E L P H I A, Dec. 6.
It is truly ludicrous, says a correspondent, to see the ANTES in the legislature of Virginia, assume the pompous stile of the Ottoman Porte in their letters and addresses to their sister states. They forget that they have by their convention delegated the exercise of their sovereignty to the United States. We hear that a list will speedily be published of all the leading anti-federalists in Virginia, from which it will appear, that a great majority of them have paid British debts into the treasury in depreciated paper, and that their disaffection to the new government arises only from the dread of being impelled to be honest by refunding.
A dangerous species of deception, says a correspondent, seems to be daily practising upon the honest farmers of the middle and eastern states. A recent and gross instance seems to require notice. The article is from Frederickburg, and speaks of a party of emigrants, consisting of one thousand and four persons—of tobacco having risen to double its usual price, 13s. at a rate, what being a dollar, and that people could be supplied with meat at the rate of a single guinea for goods. 'Tis really wrong thus to sport with the settlement and peace of worthy families. People should remember, 'tis a dreadful thing for a man to take a wife and children a thousand miles, and then to find these things mere deceptions.
N E W - Y O R K, Dec. 10.
Yesterday arrived the ship Rising Sun, Blair, in 10 weeks from St. Andrews.
Same day cleared out at the custom-house, the ship North Carolina, Haddock, for Lisbon; brig Hero, Bancker, Martinico; Jamaica, Chilsholm, Kingston; and loop Catherine, Snell, Charleston.
POST-OFFICE, Philadelphia, 5th December, 1788. This is to inform the Merchants and others, that the Southern Mail supposed to have been robbed on the 22d of November, between Wilmington and Elkton, was found in the woods near the place, unopened—And upon examination it appears that there is nothing lost.
We learn that the inhabitants of Charlestown, (Massachusetts) at a late Parish meeting, unanimously agreed to invite to the pastoral charge of them, the Rev. JEDEDIAH MORSE.
The following is assigned as the real object of the naval preparations of Spain. A private letter from Algiers says, that the emperor of Morocco is preparing to attack the dey with all his land forces, and that he is to be assisted by a Spanish and a French squadron. The latter was met by some merchant-men, sailing on the Mediterranean, to the number of fifteen ships of war, two or three being of the line, and the rest frigates.
The Spaniards, who have been long goaded by the Algerines, and have several times attempted to exterminate them, have probably judged the present a favorable occasion, the grand signior not being in a condition to succour his vassals.
His Moorish majesty's army is said to be within a few days march of Algiers, and is conducted by that son, who was reported to have rebelled against him. The Spanish squadron is at sea, and is supposed to have joined the French.
The Empress of Russia's letter written by herself, and conveyed by a special courier to the Admiral Greig, after the action with the Swedish squadron in July last.
To the worthy and brave, &c. &c.
WE should be wanting in that gratitude and politeness, which should ever distinguish sovereigns, did not we with the utmost speed convey to you (and our other brave and gallant officers, and seamen of our fleet, who have proved themselves worthy of their country) our approbation of your exemplary conduct; and the obligations which we owe you for your intrepid conduct in your engagement with our enemy the fleet of the Swedish king. To the constant exertion of your abilities, and your zeal for the glory of the common cause of ourselves, and the whole Russian empire, may, under God, be attributed the very signal victory you have gained; and we have not the smallest doubt, but that every part of our dominions where this event shall be transmitted, will behold it in its proper point of view. This will
unable to catch fire from the spirited exertions of their fellow warriors, have so signified themselves in the annals of treacherous cowards; and to whose cowardice the Swede has to boast, that any ship of their fleet escaped when so encountered; and the more particularly that their High Admiral escaped, when twice so nearly within their power to have captured.
As we take upon ourselves the sole power to reward the meritorious, we shall take signal care for the very exemplary punishment of the guilty.
We beg therefore, that you would yourself accept our heartfelt acknowledgments; and we trouble you to communicate the same to our other worthy & animated officers and seamen. It is our pleasure that the delinquents mentioned in your official letters, be immediately brought to Court-martial to wait our further displeasure.
We sincerely with you, and all with you, health, and the most signal assistance of the Almighty God, whose aid we have invoked, and of whose assistance we cannot doubt in a cause so just.
Your services will perpetually live in our remembrance; and the annals of our country must convey your names to posterity with reverence and with love. So saying, we recommend you to God's keeping ever. Done at Peterburgh the 23d of July, in the year of grace, 1788.

To the Public.
AN attempt having been made by a certain person, to occasion a belief of his having my receipt 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 entirely 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 general Mathew) upwards of 500 negroes, for more than two years; that during my practice on those estates 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 certificate given me by the Hon. John Julius, on my resigning 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, rendered 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 attending 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 valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced it virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch or its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery 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 preserving 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 British 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 afterwards 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 found and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, 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 institution to the particular attention of their fellow-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 institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, 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 accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. 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 partaking of the till an accident happens, the barefaced 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 which inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a tenable 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 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—premium, 3/ deposit, 12/ total, 15/.
SECOND RATE.
That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tiles, 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, 20/.
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 premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5/ deposit, 11/ total, 16/.
FOURTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6/ deposit, 17/ total, 23/.
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 deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7/ deposit, 11/ total, 18/.
SIXTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8/ deposit, 11/ total, 19/.
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, 12/.
The expence 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 23/ 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 expences of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0 £. 2 5 0
Which shews the expence 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 log-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or businesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, shipchandlers, tallow chandlers, table-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or colormen; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, 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 expences 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 established 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 settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
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. Dec. 2, 1788.
