L O N D O N, October 8. Our readers will no doubt be glad to see the following STATE PAPERS, which we are happy to have in our power to lay before them.
The king of Denmark having notified to the different courts of Europe his intention to send to the assistance of Russia the succours which by treaty he is bound to furnish on requisition, the Swedish ambassador, the baron de Sprengporten, on the 11th of last month, delivered the following memorial to the chief minister of his Danish majesty.
After the overtures made by the king thro' his ambassador at Copenhagen, and the confidence which he placed in his Danish majesty when he left it to him to settle the terms on which peace might be restored between the king and the empress of Russia, it was not without astonishment and concern that his majesty received the declaration of the 19th of August, delivered to him in the name, and by the order of the king, his brother-in-law. His majesty, wishing still to remove every thing that could possibly create animosity, or occasion a collision between him and a prince with whom he is connected by the most sacred ties, reserves to himself the task, should the necessity of the circumstances indispensably require it, of recalling to his Danish majesty's recollection, the pains he has taken to improve and give permanency to the good understanding and harmony, which for more than sixty years have subsisted between Sweden and Denmark. His majesty, unwilling still to neglect any thing that may preserve and maintain the longest peace recorded in the annals of the two kingdoms, and being fully assured, that other powers, will spare no exertion to extinguish the flames which threaten the North, confines himself entirely on the present occasion to one point—namely, to ask for a clear and precise explanation of his Danish majesty's intentions, which explanation will govern the measures that the king may adopt.
"His Danish majesty says, that in compliance with his defensive treaties, and in the manner therein stipulated, he is going to give part of his fleet and of his army to the empress of Russia, to be at her free disposal." The king, who has hitherto been ignorant of the nature and extent of the engagements contracted between Denmark and Russia, asks the king (his brother-in-law) whether by these ships and troops, which are to be at the free disposal of Russia, he means auxiliary ships and troops. In that case, according to the custom adopted in all times, and by all countries, these troops and ships of war can no where act against Sweden, excepting in the seas and provinces belonging to Russia, and should be sent to those places only, which are the theatre of the war. And in that case, the king, far from looking upon this step of his Danish majesty as hostile to him, will view it only with regret that the king (his brother-in-law) should assist with his forces the enemy of Sweden.
"But if the troops that are destined to support Russia, march out of the provinces belonging to his Danish majesty, and bordering upon Sweden, to enter upon those belonging to the king, if they there attack the subjects of his majesty, his fortresses and his troops, his majesty will, in that case, feel himself obliged to look upon the peace that has so long subsisted between Sweden and Denmark, as at an end, and the king of Denmark as an aggressor.
"The king assures, in the most solemn manner, and upon his royal word, that the measures which he is going to adopt for the security of his territories on the frontier of Norway, and in Scania, will be purely defensive; and that his most fervent wish is for the preservation of a peace equally necessary to both nations. The king expects a clear and precise answer, which will determine the steps he may further take.
"The BARON DE SPRENGPORTEN." Copenhagen, Sept. 11, 1788.
To the above the following answer was delivered within two days, by count Bernstorff. "His majesty the king of Denmark, far from having betrayed the confidence placed in him by his majesty the king of Sweden, has had no other cause of regret, than that his Swedish majesty had not put it in his power to make the most complete return for it; the first overtures made by the king of Sweden shewing, that he was restored to the influence of pacific dispositions, not having reached his Danish majesty, until his declaration of the 19th of August had been delivered to the Swedish ambassador, and dispatched into Sweden. His majesty, however, has availed himself, as much as lay in his power, of these overtures, for the purpose of a drawing the restoration of peace; and he declares that he is ready to concur with all candor, and with all possible zeal, in the views and measures of the friendly powers that may tend to that desirable end.
"It does not depend upon his Danish majesty to give to his auxiliary succours any other destination than that which is stated in his first declaration, and stipulated in the defensive treaties concluded between them. They are already at the free disposal of Russia; and as the theatre of war is not confined to Finland, his majesty is not at liberty to adopt a new explanation, entirely opposite to the sense and words of his avowed engagements.
"As long as the king of Denmark is not personally interested in the contest, and acts only as the auxiliary of his ally, he can have no other object than the restoration of peace; and the moment his majesty, the empress, shall have agreed with Sweden upon the condition of it, there will be an end of the king of Denmark's interference in the war: he is bound to take notice of and adopt all the measures of Russia, for either terminating or suspending hostilities. As long as the auxiliary troops and ships of war, that are to be at the disposal of Sweden, shall not exceed the stipulated number, and the rest of the Danish forces shall commit no act of hostility whatever, his Swedish majesty has no just ground for complaint. It will be his Swedish majesty himself, who will change the nature of the present situation, if he will look upon and treat as enemies the forces which do not act against Sweden, and which will act against it only in case his Swedish majesty shall declare war against Denmark. In that case, his Swedish majesty will have given birth to differences which did not exist, and will never exist if the wishes and advice of the king, and a regard for the subjects of both kingdoms can have weight with his Swedish majesty.
"The king can have no objection to the measures that may be adopted in Sweden for opposing the Danish auxiliaries. His majesty, on the contrary, declares that he will give no further extent to his plans and measures, until he shall have heard that the resolution taken by his Swedish majesty to extend his, is irrevocable.
"The king wishes most ardently that the decisive answer expected from his majesty may not be a signal for war, the very idea of which is painful to him; but rather, the confirmation of that peace which is the constant object of his wishes.
"BERNSTORFF." Copenhagen, Sept. 13, 1788.
F R A N C E. The following are the heads of the characters of the charges against the late Prime Minister of France, and the Keeper of the Seals, as alleged against them by the Parliament of Paris.
1. The resolution, proved against them, to destroy the constitutional rights of the nation. 2. Their perfidious operations, by which they excited the displeasure of the king against a prince of his blood, and against two magistrates who had been zealous in showing to his majesty the truth of the principles, and the respect due to the rights of the nation. 3. The establishment of the system of arbitrary
will in the sovereign, and the attack made on the liberty of the individual.
4. The abuse of authority to which they have led the king in seizing of M. D'Epremesnil and M. D'Monsabart, in the court of peers.
5. The destruction of the constitutional principles at the bed of justice, May 8th; the violation of the provincial capitulations, by persuading the king that they were respected; the attribution of the rights of registering of loans and imposts to a court pleniére, established in a most illegal manner, though the king declared, a short time after, that no court could supply the place of that of the nation: the attack made on the irrevocable establishment of the national tribunals; the contempt of the citizens' life in constituting the grand bailliages, courts inconsiderable in themselves, judges of life and death.
6. The falsity of a printed paper, alleging that certain edicts were registered at the request of the attorney general, who had not demanded the registering of any, and who even had opposed the registering of the last.
7. The acts of authority into which they had led the king against the superior courts, and the bad use made of lettres de cachet.
8. Their endeavors to gain the favor of the people by encouraging infamous and seditious papers against the magistrate; and by prohibiting the printing of answers to those calumnies.
9. The error into which they led the king and the public, by affirming that the treasury was in a state to pay all the expenses of the year, tho' a very short time afterwards all payments were suspended.
10. The blood of citizens shed for the establishment of new laws.
11. Lastly, for justice, the first debt of the sovereign to his people, refused for more than four months to 24,000,000 of men, by the suspension of the legal judges.
The court having deliberated on these charges ordered the attorney general to proceed to inform himself of the facts.
Extract of a Letter from Calais, Oct. 10.
"The corpse of the late Duchess of Kingston remains still unburied; nor is it certain whether it will be removed to England, or be reposed in this country, where the ecclesiastics will pay every respect for money. The packet from Dover is just come in, and with it the duke of Dorset."
The duchess of Kingston's will is found to be invalid, being made in France, is not executed according to the laws of that country; in consequence of which the whole of her grace's property in France has been taken possession of by the king's officers, and notice has been received here for the next of kin to go over and claim the effects.
Colonel Glover, who is one of her nearest relations, is gone for France to put in the necessary claim in behalf of himself and others, who are entitled to the property.
The amount of the duchess's effects in France, in estates, diamonds and furniture, is said to be about three hundred thousand pounds.
Her grace had also an estate in Russia, and the will being equally informal in that country, her property therefore is expected to come, in like manner, among her relations in England.
The claimants, under this disposition of her effects, are nine in number, who will, if the estate in Russia be divided among them, with the property in France, receive near fifty thousand pounds each.
What renders the will invalid is, that it was made there in the English form, and executed accordingly. The laws of France, however, require it to be made and witnessed by a notary, unless it be all in the hand-writing of the testator; neither of which forms were attended to in the making of the duchess of Kingston's will.
E D I N B U R G H, Sept. 1.
The admirers of fine writing, and particularly of that new species of beauty called Alliteration, now so much used by orators, will be pleased with the following character of a young lady, from the Newcastle Journal, of the 12th July last.
"Died, in the flower of her age, Miss Mary Harrison, daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Harrison, of Wheldon Bridge House. If boundless benevolence be the basis of beatitude, and harmless humility the baringer of a bellowed heart, these christian concomitants composed her characteristic, and conciliated the esteem of her cotemporary acquaintance, who mean to model their wanners by the mould of their meritorious monitor."
There are but two instances, at least in our present recollection, which approach near to the above; the one is "Henry Hallam, batter, boser and baderdafer, at Holburn Bridge, Hatton Gardens." The other, "Benjamin Bell, brown bread and biscuit baker, near Battersea Bridge."
NEW-YORK, Dec. 18.
Yesterday arrived the brig Aurora, Tweed, from Liverpool; schooner John and Jane, Potter, Matilda Brae; sloop Julia, Hamstead, St. Eustatia; and Lady-Haley, Tillingham, R. Island.
Same day cleared out at the custom-house, the schooner Proserpine, Jappie, for Barbadoes.
A Norfolk (Virginia) paper of the 3d inst. says—"On Monday night, 24th ult. a most daring PIRACY was committed by two villains on the schooner Nancy, Solomon Athby, master, on her voyage to Baltimore. These men boarded said vessel late in the evening, armed with muskets, which they presented to the master and hands on board (consisting of two young lads only) with menaces of instant death if any resistance was made. The master very fortunately made his escape in the boat which conveyed these fellows to the schooner. It being extremely dark, no particular description of the men can be given; and as the vessel has not since been seen or heard of, the master conjectures that on their discovering he had made his escape, they proceeded instantly to sea. The above schooner is American built; her frame and top timbers all of red cedar, and her burthen about 120 barrels; her cargo consisted of turpentine, tar, rosin, flax-seed, bees-wax, bear-skins, otter skins, fish, and shingles. Her bottom is painted with a Spanish brown; her sides yellow, and her quarters and stern green; her cabin is of a lead color, and has three good births; the names of the two lads belonging to her are Stephen Fletcher and John Covington. This little vessel was the sole property of capt. Athby, with which he got a living to support himself and a numerous family, and being a case of humanity it is hoped the different printers will insert the above, which may be a means of bringing these daring pirates to condign punishment.

This is therefore to caution the public against giving credit to any orders whatever, which may be said to be drawn on me. The said Charles Berry having been detected in his villainy, was seized and confined in the gaol of this city, from whence he has lately made his escape. He is of a middle size, swarthy complexion and down look; sometimes calls himself William Berry, and at other times William Vanselt.

ELECTUARY
For destroying Worms in children and grown Persons.
THE Proprietor informs the Public that he has received a supply of the very best ingredients with which this Electuary is compounded, and as complaints were made that the last, sold by the Apothecary was not good, the Proprietor assures the Public it must have been owing to the principal article in the composition being too old, they now may be supplied with it as usual, at Mr. Wainwright's Store, warranted good by the Proprietor. Experience, the best criterion to go by, evinces the Electuary the best preparation yet discovered for the uses expressed in its title. The ready sale it has heretofore met with, is a proof of its success, and requires little further commendation. Save that it so effectually kills the worms, that they are seldom or never brought away alive, but mostly jellied or like humors occasioned by it.

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 oak 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, 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 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 sound 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 Crossfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

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 its virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch for its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea.

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.
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 that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible 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 carried 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 tile, 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, 12/ total, 17/
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, 11/ total, 17/
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, 12/ total, 19/
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, 12/ total, 20/
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, 21/ total, 31/
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 expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 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 sugar-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, ship chandlers, 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 expenses 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. im.
December 2, 1788.
