L O N D O N, May 10. The East India Company, in consequence of the general stagnation occasioned in the line-trade by the recent failures, have postponed their sale of mssins, &c. to a future day.
Yesterday a docket was struck against a banking house in Manchester, and many others are yet expected to give way. We fear that, with all which has been done, it will be impossible for the houses connected with those whose names have been mentioned, to stand the shock; for it is in the nature of a convolution, to spread an alarm which brings in every claim, and the whole coming in one moment necessarily overturns the fabric.
The eyes of all Europe are turned to France. If the army of that kingdom are so lost to every feeling of patriotism, as to carry the ambitious projects of the Court into execution, the ancient constitution of the country is annihilated. But it is believed they will not be so base, and that there will be an effectual struggle for liberty on the part of the people.
May 27. A match is at length settled between those heroes of the fist, Humphries and Mendoza. Five hundred pounds a side is the bet; ten gentlemen having put down a hundred each for that purpose. The time or place is not fixed; but New-Market is expected to be the scene of action.
Lord Mansfield's resignation and present to Judge Buller being variously talked of, the following are said to be the particulars of the affair: the private reasons of his Lordship not resigning before, we will not pretend to guess at; the difficulty of settling to great an arrangement in the law as such a resignation must occasion, no doubt was one, and a very principal one; however, when his Lordship had taken his determination, feeling the very great obligations he owed Judge Buller, he inclosed him bank notes to the amount of 2000l. accompanied with a letter, which, when we say, it was written by Lord Mansfield, must include all that was elegant and proper. This letter at first embarrassed Mr. Buller's delicacy, but after considering it as a pledge of friendship, which may as well be given before as after a friend's death—he accepted it as such, nor do we hear the money was returned as stated in the papers.
INSTALLATION SUPPER and BALL of the KNIGHTS of the BATH.
The Pantheon was last night illuminated in a most superb and expensive manner, for the installation of the new Knights of the Bath, who gave their installation ball and supper at this place. The light was the most brilliant ever seen in this country, and the whole spectacle afforded such a view of grandeur and elegance, as surpassed our power of description. The decorations were altogether novel, and afforded a most charming prospect.
On the entrance of the Pantheon, the Anti-chamber was hung round with banners of the new elected Knights who were installed yesterday fortnight in Weyminster-Abbey. They are
  Sir A. Hood,  Sir C. Gray,    — John Jarvis,  — W. Fawcett,    — R. Boyd,  Gen. Haldimand,    — A. Campbell,  Lord Heathfield,    Lord Rodney,  And    Sir R. Frederic,  Viscount Galloway.  
The Rotunda was illuminated with 140 green wax tapers, with concave mirrors in each panel of the dome, to reflect the light downwards. Round the bottom of the dome, wreaths of flowers were hung round with variegated lamps intermixed. In the body of the Rotunda, at the cornice above the pillars, was a continued wreath of artificial flowers. The columns were hung with coats of mail, helmets, battle axes, spears, swords, and in the ancient style. Within the columns, in the niches under the gallery, were pots of rose trees, and between them, transparencies of the Order of the Bath; with an illumination of variegated lamps. Besides the lights in the body of the Rotunda, were large gilt baskets hanging from the ceiling, ornamented with flowers, and branches sticking out to hold the lights. Five thousand yards of artificial flowers were employed in the decoration of the saloon alone. At the bottom of the Rotunda was the orchestra, at the back of it, a transparency, representing the temple of the sun, the whole very elegantly lighted up. The gallery was illuminated in nearly the same manner as the Rotunda, with crimson seats and cushions, and carried round the whole room.
At eleven o'clock the Knights entered the Rotunda. They were preceded by a procession of 82 persons—dressed as Priests and Priestesses of the Sun, with a large train of chorus-singers. During their entrance the Duke of York's band played in the front of the orchestra. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived shortly afterwards. The carmen seculare was then performed by the orchestra, with a full band of vocal and instrumental music. Cramer at the head of it. The company began to assemble shortly after nine o'clock, and by twelve, the rooms were completely filled:—1400 tickets were given out for the occasion; and much praise is due to those who were at the doors for their strict attention that no improper company should be admitted. At one o'clock the supper room was opened; and represented with a very happy effect an extensive bower. The pillars were covered with laurel and orange trees. The ceiling was covered with festoons and flowers, and branches projecting from the lights.
The Prince of Wales, Duke of York, and a select party of their friends supped privately in the cotillon room.
The demand for tickets was so great, that 18 guineas were offered, and refused. Many were sold for 30 guineas.
Mr. Texier had the management of the decorations, and Mr. Martindale the ordering of the supper, which was fixed at 1000 guineas.
About half past two the dances began; but from the heat of the Weather, few seemed willing to enter the lists.
It would be endless to mention those who were present. There were among them all the nobility and fashion in the kingdom who could procure tickets of admission. Both ladies and gentlemen were in full dress; the ladies head dresses displayed a great profusion of diamonds, and feathers of all sorts. Nothing seemed wanting to make the whole a most delightful entertainment, but a little cooler weather, as the room towards the dawn of the day was extremely hot. At four in the morning the company began to leave the rooms.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Blanchard, dated Bafil, in Switzerland, April 25.
Retired in a castle near the gates of Bafil, I have been many months making two wings, composed of whalebone, and covered with taffety, which are exactly like those of birds, and notwithstanding they cover a space of 90 feet, their lightness, joined with the force I have borrowed from the powers of mechanism, enables me to use them so easily, that I can mount with the least motion. On Monday the 5th of May, I will make a public attempt in this city, at the Margrave of Baden's, and mount myself from the court of the Palace. I shall at my first trial take my parachute with me with a small balloon, about 15 feet in diameter, which I will raise, and keep ready to spread when wanted. I may perhaps, have a second of the same size for other experiments. Many motives have engaged me to perfect and execute this piece of mechanism; 1st. To find some method of direction, by a considerable diminution of the volume of the balloon; 2dly. To reduce of course the expences of an experiment to a mere nothing; 3dly. To avoid all the dangers which my attention among a number of inaccessible mountains will expose me to, if carried by a balloon only, and driven by a bad wind, I could reach the summit of those mountains which
no mortal ever arrived at; whereas I now no longer fear those desolate places, but shall be very glad to see them, as I can easily leave them by flying. After this essay nothing will be difficult to me, and I dare promise the success of my wings beforehand, from the observations I have made in the different experiments. I have tried for these 14 or 15 years with machines far from the perfection of my present piece of mechanism. I flatter myself I shall yet have the satisfaction of returning to Paris on a fixed day, flying in the air."
Blanchard made his 35th experiment on the 5th instant, at Bafil. He ascended, in the presence of the Margrave of Baden, without the usual boat, his wings or parachute, owing to an opening of about six inches towards the equatorial part of the balloon, which prevented its being completely filled. All the efforts to raise the boat or basket being fruitless, he tied four of the ropes at the bottom of the aerostat, and in that manner mounted the airy regions, inspiring a general consternation and terror all around. A mournful silence, expressive of their inward anxiety, seized all the numerous spectators, and it was only the colors, waved in the air by Blanchard, that tranquillized their minds. His elevation was soon at such a height, that he hardly distinguished the mountains he was soaring above, but as he was not sufficiently clothed, he could not long resist the severity of the cold. The heavens were calm and not the least cloud obstructed the majestic expansive view. On that endless circle of mountains the eye enjoyed one of the most glorious spectacles of the atmosphere. It was with regret that he was forced to quit that enchanting scene, after an excursion of about half an hour. He examined his balloon, and perceived the fracture that had prevented its being completely filled, and rendered abortive his efforts to raise the boat, &c. then pulled the valve's string, and immediately felt he was descending. The objects began to be more visible, and for fear of falling on the tops of some houses, or the neighboring forest, he pulled the string a second time. By this second pull the valve unluckily gave way; the inflammable air began to fly, and he was hurried down about 200 fathoms with a violent rapidity. His feet received the first impression, and by good luck received no other injury, but a sprain in one of his ankles. It was certainly a miraculous escape, for the balloon afterwards was found hardly able to support itself. The Senate of Bafil have placed the colors in the archives of the town, in remembrance of so daring an ascent, and so dangerous a descent.
D U B L I N, May 31.
It has been generally reported, that his Galtie Majesty has been fired at, in returning from a ride about nine in the evening of Saturday the 18th instant. The account arrived in a letter to a gentleman in this city, and states the affair as follows:—The King, who is become very corpulent and plethoric within the last three years, was visited by M c de-Senae, his first physician, to drink lime water and acid cooling liquors, and to be on horseback, if possible, every day. Some business preventing him from riding out on the forenoon of Saturday, which being over between four and five, he took a cold snack, mounted, and rode towards the town of St. Germain's, accompanied by two Noblemen and six Servants. About half way, on his return to Versailles, the report of a gun was heard, as if proceeding from a decayed monastery, some walls of which are yet standing, not far from the high road. One of the servants, who was about five or six yards behind, cried out, that a ball had carried away a part of his hat. The King, without any marks of fear, or even surprise, commanded the ruins to be searched, whilst four men placed themselves at different parts to prevent an escape. But the bird, or rather the fowler, were no where to be seen. The evening was remarkably clear, and the walls, which had been long unroofed, were exposed, with all their niches and crannies, to a distinct view. Whether the piece was discharged at an owl or other night-bird, inhabiting those ruins, or levelled intentionally at the King, cannot be ascertained; but the writer avers, that the fact is literally and truly as above.
NEW-YORK, July 30.
Copy of a letter from Alexander M c Gillivray, to Colonels Anthony Bledsoe and James Robertson, at Nashville, Cumberland, dated Little Tallessee, Upper Creek nation, April 14, 1788.
GENTLEMEN, Mr. HOCKET arrived here a few days ago, and delivered me your letters, together with Col. Hawkins's.
Agreeably to your request, I will be explicit and candid in my answer to yours, and will not deny that my nation has waged war against your country for several years past, and that we had no motives of revenge for it; nor did it proceed from any sense of injury sustained from your people—but being warmly attached to the British, and being under their influence, operations were directed by them against you, in common with other Americans.
After the general peace had taken place, you sent us a talk by Samuel Martin, which I then accepted and promised to advise my people to agree to, and which would have been finally concluded on in the ensuing summer and fall; and judging that your people were sincere in their professions, I was much surprised to find, that while this affair was pending, your people attacked the French traders at the Muscle Shoals; killed six of our people who were there trading for silver ware. These men belonged to different towns, and having connections of the first consequence in this nation—such an unprovoked outrage raised a most vehement clamor, and gave rise to the expedition against Cumberland, that soon after took place; but as that affair has been since amply retaliated, I once again will use my best endeavors to bring about a peace with us:—and indeed, before I had received your dispatches, I had given out strict orders, that on the return of all hunting parties, none should go out on any pretence, until after the first general meeting, which I expect to hold in May next, when all my influence and authority shall be exerted in the manner you will.
I shall now take leave of this subject, re-
ferring you to Mr. Hocket, to whom I have fully explained my sentiments.
I have seen the resolves of Congress respecting Indian affairs, as early as January last, besides being notified of the same from General Pickens.—But I have as yet, heard nothing of a Superintendent, or Georgia Commissioner, relating to the business of their commission.
I had received his Excellency Governor Calswell's letter and duplicate, only a short time before the unlucky affair of Cherokee river, so that I deferred writing until I could be satisfied in my own mind, that he might depend upon what I should say to him.—As I abhor every species of duplicity, I will not to deceive; and if I was not deceived upon settling and terminating the war, I would write now. I have only seen my friend Hawkins upon paper, and I highly honor and esteem him, even in this kind of acquaintance: the excellent character every one gives him, makes him a valuable advocate for your cause. Chance may put us in each other's view; one day or other, and I shall rejoice in having the opportunity of talating him Friend .—I have endeavored to make every thing as agreeable to Messrs. Hocket and Ewing as my situation permitted.
I remain Gentlemen, with much regard, Your most obedient servant, ALEXANDER M c GILLIVRAY.
Cols. Anthony Bledsoe and James Robertson, Nashville, Cumberland.
By a gentleman from Kentucky, we learn, that a party of the Wabash Indians have lately attacked the continental troops stationed at Post St. Vincent's, on the North side of the Ohio—and after a severe conflict, in which a number of the soldiers were killed, the Indians were repulsed.
Early on Monday morning the 28th inst. the agreeable news of the ratification of the Federal Constitution by the State of New-York was announced in New-Brunswick, in consequence of which the inhabitants assembled to testify the joy which they participated on this important event. The bells were rung for several hours, a union flag was displayed on the church steeple, the companies of artillery under the command of Captains Douglass and Guest, paraded, and after firing eleven rounds and giving three cheers in honor of the eleven Federal Pillars erected for the grand Edifice, they returned to their several avocations, with marks of the most pleasing satisfaction and joy.
The Vice-President and the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, have offered a public reward of three hundred dollars for apprehending and securing John Jenkins, 300 dollars for apprehending and securing John Hyde, and the sum of 100 dollars for apprehending and securing each and every of the following named persons, viz. Daniel Earl, Benj. Earl, Cady, Wilkes Jenkins, Joseph Dudley, Gideon Dudley, David Woodward, John Whitcomb, Timothy Kilburne, and Thomas Kinney, or for apprehending and securing any other persons who shall be convicted of aiding and abetting in taking off the person of Timothy Pickering, Esq. an officer of government, for the county of Luzerne, whom they still retain as a prisoner.
They also offer a public reward of 200 dollars to any person or persons who shall apprehend and secure a certain William Nugent, in the gaol of any county within this commonwealth; who has been charged with felony, and other crimes, by a grand jury of the county of Franklin. The said William Nugent is now at large, and lurking about, to the terror and annoyance of the good people of the said county.
Extract of a letter from London, May 1. "An act of parliament has passed for the admission of American vessels to load salt at Turk's Island, on paying a tonnage duty of 2s. 6d. This must be of great advantage to the American commerce, as salt is seldom more than 6d. per bushel. Zachariah Hood, Esq. has great merit in effecting this admission, and who will embark in a few days for those Islands, in order to carry these regulations into execution."
Yesterday arrived the sloop Orange , Capt. Howell, in 12 days from St. Martin's.
Capt. George Codwise, in the sloop Little David , from St. Croix, on the 25th inst. in lat. 36, 15, N. long. 72, 45, W. spoke a brig, John Brown, Master, and a sloop, from the coast of Brazil, both dismasted in a gale on the 23d inst.; and the day following spoke another brig, Benj. Wright, master, belonging to R. Island, who had lost both his masts and bowsprit in the same gale, and had neither spar nor sail to throw, and was in the utmost distress. Capt. Codwise assisted him with what spars and small sails he had to spare, to enable him to make some port.
In March last died, the celebrated Mr. Palisch, at Prohols, a village not far from Dresden. The knowledge he acquired by a constant application to phylic and astronomy, deserves the greatest praises. He was a man of the character of the ancient Romans, for he cultivated his lands
with his own hands, lived like a philosopher, and to great talents joined moral and exemplary manners, which inspired every one with respect and veneration for him. He was one of the greatest astronomers of this age. In 1783 he discovered a comet, which acquired him the praises of the Royal Society of London, with whom he corresponded. Many learned men, and even Princes visited his museum, and expressed their admiration and esteem for him.
Lately died at Paris, at the advanced age of 92, Mr. Vaucluse, an ingenious optician, and well read in natural history.

The Inhabitants of the City of N E W - Y O R K
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed. 2d. To allow each a proper distrikt, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
