L O N D O N, August 7. Declaration of the Empress of all the Russias.
It was towards the end of the last winter, that the armaments by sea and land began to shew themselves in Sweden. Whispers were purposely circulated in the kingdom, as if Russia meditated an attack. In proportion as these preparations advanced, and as they believed they had made an impression on some national spirits, the cabinet of Stockholm began to extend rumors of the same kind, even to foreign courts. The empress has the satisfaction to learn that these insinuations have everywhere failed of their aim. In truth, the courts of Europe are too enlightened to believe that Russia, after having for so long a time maintained a pacific system in regard to Sweden, had chosen to depart from it, in the moment when she was engaged in a war so serious as that in which the Ottoman Porte had involved her.
In the mean time, the empress, attentive to every thing which has passed in a place so adjacent to her territories, judged it necessary, on the information which she received, not to neglect to take measures of precaution. But anxious to avoid every thing which might create umbrage or excite alarm, she contented herself with ordering to Finland a flight reinforcement of troops, and with establishing, in this province, magazines, proportioned to their number, and indispensably necessary to their subsistence. In fine, reposing on the innocence and rectitude of her intentions, on the religious tenure of the perpetual treaty, subsisting between the empire of Russia and the kingdom of Sweden, and above all, not knowing of any one subject of discussion, open or concealed, between the two courts—the amicable correspondence, on the contrary, continuing as usual between them, she had undoubtedly every right to think, that strong as might be the ambition, the uses and envy of the Imperial powers, the true motives which could impel the Swedish monarch to make war on her, must be repressed by the respect to good faith, which ought to actuate the hearts of sovereigns more even than of other men; by the impossibility of giving any color of equity to the flight which he wished to give to his passions; and in fine, by the obstacle equally strong, that of the solemn compact he had made with his people, not to undertake any war without assembling, consulting, and obtaining the consent of his subjects.
Nothing could prove more effectually the satisfaction which should have been placed in her Imperial majesty's various assurances, than the resolution which she took of detaching from the fleet destined for the Archipelago a squadron of only three ships, which the sent to sea in the beginning of this month, notwithstanding the positive advices she had of all the Swedish fleet being cruising in the Baltic. These ships, three days after their departure from the port of Cronstadt, fell in, off the Isle of Dago, with the Swedish fleet, which detached a frigate, the captain of which came aboard of the ship of the vice admiral Vanderfeer, who commanded this little squadron. The captain of the frigate announced to the vice admiral the presence of the Duc de Sudermania, the king's brother, the commander of the Swedish fleet, and required to salute. The vice admiral replied, that by the 17th article of the treaty of Abo, no salute could take place between the Russian and Swedish fleets; and that respecting, in the person of the Duc de Sudermania, the cousin german of the empress, and the brother of the king of Sweden, he had no difficulty in rendering to these distinctions all the honors that were due. He then ordered a salute of thirteen guns, and sent an officer on board the Duc's ship to pay his compliments, and to announce to him at the same time, that it was to his person only, that the honors were addressed. The answer of the Duc de Sudermania was, that although he was not ignorant of the tenure of the convention made between the courts of Sweden and Russia, in regard to the salute, he would not accept of that which was to be rendered, unless given to the Swedish flag, as he had received the most precise orders from the king, his brother, to make that flag respected in every place, and on every occasion.
The empress had hardly time to make her complaints on the injustice and irregularity of this proceeding to the court of Stockholm, when she was informed of a proceeding still less expected. Of the dismissal of her minister from the Swedish court and territories. The pretended reasons of this measure are exposed in the declaration of the king, made to the ministers of foreign courts. These reasons are not calculated to impose on the most unenlightened, and they therefore require no answer; but one cannot help observing, that it is the first example of the kind, by which a sovereign assured his subjects of the peace and benevolent sentiments he entertained towards them.
In the mean time the empress resolved to continue to the last in the principles of moderation she had professed, confined her resentment of this proceeding to the reciprocity which she was naturally authorized to use in regard to the minister of the king of Sweden. She signified to him to quit her court in the same space of time which had been fixed for her minister at Stockholm. The only difference in the proceeding was, that all false and insidious imputation was carefully avoided. This difference has been established and demonstrated indeed by the good faith which has accompanied the cause of the empress, and the breach of faith which has marked the whole conduct of the king of Sweden.
Notwithstanding these scenes, which threatened an almost inevitable war, the empress was pleased to cherish hopes that the amicable explanations which the Swedish monarch had himself promised the foreign powers, might yet tend to preserve the good harmony and neighbourhood, which no one reason of state on either side tended to interrupt. But this hope is totally vanished. She learns, that on the 21st or 22d of this month the troops of the king of Sweden having fallen hastily on the frontiers of Russia, have carried off the money deposited in several custom houses, have penetrated to the environs of Nielskar, and have even opened the siege of its castle.
It is by a series of violent proceedings, of which every one infringes on the rights the most generally received among civilized nations, that the king of Sweden, without having complained of one grievance against Russia, has at length pushed to the uttermost the moderation of the empress, and has obliged her to have recourse to the only remedy which is left her, of repelling force by force. It is with regret that she issues her order to the commanders of her forces by land and sea. In making known this resolution, as well as the motives that have provoked her to it, to the friendly powers, she protests to them, that the king of Sweden is alone responsible to God, to the world, and to his own people, for all the calamities to which his ambition and injustice may give rise.
Petersburgh, June 30, 1788.
Extract of a letter from Metz, June 16. M. Blanchard, our countryman, has just given us a sight of a new experiment. This is his 1st excursion. He had announced many days ago that he would mount precisely at 5 o'clock in the evening, accompanied by a lady whose name should be kept a secret till the moment of
their departure. It was with the greatest astonishment and surprise that yesterday, the day for the experiment, the company saw approach the balloon, Mad. de Surmann's Brabantone, led by le Marquis de Jouanne de St. Madard, captain of the king's hussars regiment. She entered the boat with wonderful intrepidity, and unusual gaiety. The moment the cock struck four, the two aeronauts set out at the sound of a gun firing, military music, and the loud acclamations of an incredible number of spectators. They were soon out of sight. After an hour's hovering in the upper regions of the air, they directed their descent between the woods of Sorbet, and Fontaine, three leagues from thence, whence they were reconducted in triumph. M. Blanchard sent yesterday into the air, by means of a sort of 900 cubic feet, two dogs in a basket. They went two thousand fathoms high. The basket, annexed to a parachute, left the balloon, which lost its creatures in it. The same evening, M. Blanchard and his fair companion went to the play, which had been retarded on their account, and received from the company the applause due to ingenuity, intrepidity and courage."
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8. On Saturday last a motion was made in the general assembly for recommending the anti federal letter from the Convention of New-York, signed by governor Clinton, to the attention of the next assembly. After a short debate, the motion was negatived by 38 against 23. May that letter meet with the same treatment in every state under the Union.
The harmony with which the late sessions of Assembly has terminated is a most comfortable circumstance to every friend of good government. The two federal characters which have been elected to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate of the United States, and the concordance of all parties with respect to the law passed by the house, regulating the time, place, and manner, of choosing our eight members of the federal house of representatives, and the election of the ten electors of the President, are good omens of future happiness under the new constitution.
The electors of the President of the United States, on the part of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, are to meet in the borough of Reading, where it is universally hoped and expected that one more tribute of merited approbation will be given to GEORGE WASHINGTON, ESQ. by their unanimous suffrages. Of the several respectable characters in nomination for Vice-President, circumstances seem most to concur in favor of John Adams Esquire. While the conciliating talents of Governor Hancock, and the attachments to him that prevail in Massachusetts, render him necessary to the peace of New-England, Mr. Adams is perfectly at liberty to fill a seat, for which nature, education, and the experience of several years at various courts in Europe, have eminently and peculiarly qualified him.
The late improvements that have been made in the manufacturing American cheese, are proofs, that the English cheese does not owe its peculiar good qualities to the soil, climate, or pasture of Great-Britain. American cheese, when kept equally long with the English, is equally good. It is to be lamented, that the capitals of our farmers will not admit of their keeping their cheese long enough to bring them to perfection, before they expose them to sale. To remedy this inconvenience, would it not be a good speculation for our merchants, who have capitals, to purchase the cheese from the farmers, and keep them two or three years in houses prepared for that purpose? It is in this manner the English cheese are bought and ripened in Great Britain.
A correspondent informs us, that a new cheese placed in the middle of a hay stack, or under a load of two or three wheat or rye in the straw in a barn, ripens, in the course of six months, more than it will in two years in any other situation. The cheese, when taken out of the hay or straw, is changed from a white to a yellow colour, and is reduced nearly one half in its thickness.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Muskizum, to his friend in Lyne, Connecticut, dated August 18, 1788.
"The soil in this country is of a reddish brown, very similar to that of Middletown in Connecticut. Stones are so scarce here that we think it much the cheapest to make brick, and accordingly we have a kiln making of 60,000: these will all be wanted this fall for chimneys. The clay has been tried, and found to be very good. What stone we have lie in quarries, and are mostly like those at Middletown: some are fine for grind-stones. We have a sufficiency of good lime-stone. The hunters, the Indians, and a 1 who have travelled back into the country tell us, that after we get 12 or 15 miles from the river, we shall come to a level country, with a very rich soil, and I think it is beyond all dispute it is the case, as it appears by what I have tried on the river. I planted corn here the 20th of June, which flourishes exceedingly well, and I believe is as high as any I ever saw: it is now about two months since planted, and will measure 15 feet in height. I think this to be an exceedingly good country of land, and will produce very luxuriantly:—I am not ashamed to recommend it, to you, or any friend I have; and not only to, but in friendly advice, could with them to come and settle here, for in a short time we, or any one, can go on a good farm. I think there is every appearance that the ensuing treaty, will bring about a general peace. There is a considerable number of Indians here now, and of several nations; numbers more from the different tribes expected in shortly. I hear of 300 at Fort Pitt, from the North Seneca's, and others who are coming down soon."
Extract from Allen's (New-London Marine List.) Sundry French, Dutch, and Spanish vessels arrived at Aux-Crayes, all more or less damaged in the gale of the 15th and 16th of August.—One or two vessels ashore near Fachamell. Reports were, that the hurricane did very considerable damage at sundry places—at Port-au-Prince, unroofed and blew down 150 to 200 houses—that all the vessels in the harbor were either drove to sea, on shore, over-set, or foundered at their anchors; sundry being lost, and all on board perished. At Fachamell, houses unroofed and blown down, and plantations in the vicinity of that place and on Cavillon-river overflowed.
From the Pennsylvania Packet, of October 7. PERSONALLY appeared before me Alexander Tod, Esq. one of the Justices of peace for the city and county of Philadelphia, John Beck, mate of the Schooner Mary, (John Leavcraft, late master,) and James Simpson, a foreman hand on board said Schooner, who being duly sworn on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, doth depose and say, That they, their deponents, did depart from Washington, in North-Carolina, in said Schooner Mary, on the 28th day of June last, for Point Peter, in Guadalupe, and arrived at Point Peter, on Wednesday the 30th day of July; and departed from thence for Philadelphia on Thursday the 4th of September; that during said time said John Leavcraft commanded said Schooner, and until the 12th of September last, about nine o'clock in the evening, in lat. 28, 21, long. 66, 44, the said captain Leavcraft being standing on the quarter deck, as well as the deponents, he the said Leavcraft shook hands with the mate, and wished him a good-bye, and wished the hands a good-bye, calling them lads; he then ran forward and went out on the jib-boom-end, and being followed by one of the deponents, the mate, he was persuaded to come in; after his coming in, the said Leavcraft mentioned, that he had a prayer-book along with him, which was the cause of his not going over; he then was persuaded to strip and take rest, which he promised he would, and in some measure seemed reconciled: but about half after ten o'clock, on the same night, he threw himself over of the cabin window, the vessel being then under way, at the rate of six knots an hour, and a heavy sea going; they endeavored to put her about but could not stay her; in the interim the mate threw out a piece of plank, and hallowing to him, told him there was a plank, and in the mean time wore ship; and the mate and one of the hands went up the shrouds, and one of the people went out on the bowsprit, and could not see or hear him, although they kept calling him by name, and hallowing for him, since first attempt to put the ship about. These deponents do further say, that he was perfectly sober for three or four days before he drowned himself, and that he appeared to be as sensible as usual, except on the day of this happening; that he mentioned several times the names of his three daughters, who it appears live in New-York; and that on said day he appeared to be a little uneasy, and looking into his trunk, and looking over his books; that he, one of the deponents, John Beck, mate, has taken an inventory of what property he had on board, and put them into his trunk, as per inventory sworn to, and left in the hands of Flahaven and Wilson, of Philadelphia, for the use of said Capt. Leavcraft's family, to be delivered when applied for. And further these deponents sayeth not.

Yesterday arrived the ship Falbrook, Capt. MAXWELL, in 41 days from Cork. From the Cork Evening Post, of August 28. P E T E R S B U R G H, July 21. Account of the Engagement with the Swedish fleet.
On the 17th, about noon, our fleet discovered five Swedish ships, between 60 and 70 guns each, and eight large frigates provided with heavy artillery, sailing in a line, having five small frigates and three packet boats attending, under the command of the duke of Sudermania, whose ship carried the flag of admiral general of Sweden, having also in the fleet a vice admiral and rear admiral's flag flying. Admiral Greig immediately gave the signal for an attack, and our ships directly crowded all the sail they could advancing towards the enemy. The Swedes on perceiving this, immediately formed into a line of battle. The weather was serene, and our ships profiting of a fresh south-east wind gained on the Swedes. The Rotiflaw, commanded by admiral Greig, attacked the Swedish admiral; but he retired towards his small vessels; and it was not until about 5 o'clock that our line were abreast of the enemy, who then began to bear down upon us. The firing immediately commenced on both sides, and was continued with great briskness until ten at night. The Swedes twice began to give way; and although during the battle there was a dead calm, and that it was impossible to govern the ships, the fire was still kept up with the greatest intrepidity, and continued until the night was far advanced, when the Swedes began to haul up, and retired, leaving our fleet masters of the field of battle.
We took from the enemy the Prince Gustave of 70 guns, bearing the flag of the vice admiral who defended himself with the greatest bravery more than an hour against our admiral, but was at length obliged to strike. We made prisoners with this ship, the count Wachtmeister, vice admiral and aid de-camp to the king of Sweden, who led the van, and 15 officers with all her crew.
Admiral Greig writes, that he never saw a fight better substantiated on both sides than the above. Our loss consists of 319 killed, and 686 wounded; that of the enemy must be more considerable, as the number found on board the ship we took, amounts to 300 killed and wounded.
After the battle, four ships of the enemy took advantage of the night and a calm, to surround one of our ships, and carried her off, after a vigorous resistance.
The admiral gives a general eulogy on the conduct of all under his command.
L O N D O N, August 22. Extract of a letter from Lemberg, dated August 4.
"We just now hear that the important fortress of Choczim surrendered on the 11th, the garrison having obtained their conditions, and are gone to Jassy and Bender. The Austrians will leave a proper garrison in that place, and proceed to besiege the
other fortresses; which, if they succeed again, will open them a free communication with the Russians and allies at Oczakow."
There is positive advice from Copenhagen, that the king of Denmark has resolved, and unequivocally declared, he will assist the Empress of Russia. Count Bernstoff, the Danish minister, has acquainted all the foreign ministers at Copenhagen, "That the king of Denmark thinks himself obliged to furnish Russia with the lucres stipulated by the treaty of alliance between the two powers."
After this explicit declaration, there can be no longer any doubts pretended, respecting Denmark.
But this mail contains another piece of news not less important. This is, "That the King of Sweden has required of the king of Prussia, a support of thirty thousand men, by virtue of a treaty of alliance between them."
It is added, in the accounts brought by the mail, that there is no doubt of this requisition being immediately complied with.
Besides the powers of the north, those of Spain and Naples are arming. The Spanish fleet is out, and the Neapolitan fleet is getting ready as fast as possible.

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 Crosfield, 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 admissi- ble; 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.
