V I E N N A, June 29.
We have been favored with an authentic account of the new city of Cherson, of which some public papers give a very poor description. The city contains a great number of houses, chiefly built with hewn stone, and the rest with wood; they are for the most part one story high, but very commodious and neat. The streets are very large and in straight lines, intersecting each other, which make the city very airy. With regard to its situation, it is placed on the Dnieper, on a large plain, with neither mountains nor hills near it. There are three great warehouses, two Russian and one Polish, and a considerable number of Greek merchants are come from the Archipelago, Smyrna, Salonica, and Constantinople, to establish themselves there. About 40 or 50 merchantmen annually trade to that port, without including the small vessels which traffic to Crimea, and along the coast of the Black Sea. All these vessels carry no other flag than the Russian or Austrian, but they belong to divers nations. At present there is no other Consul at Cherson than that of his Imperial Majesty, who took possession of his charge the 26th of May last with the usual forms, after having had the honor of being presented to the Empress. In a little time they say the other powers, such as France, the Republic of Venice, &c. will send Consuls to Cherson. It has been said the air of the new city is very unwholesome, but its fine situation and experience demonstrate to the contrary. The number of its inhabitants are about 15,000, without including the garrison, which is very numerous. We can affirm all these details to be very true and exact, they having been transmitted to us by a person of credit, who made these observations upon the spot.
Ostend, July 15. We just now learn from Zaarste, that the inhabitants of the principal islands in Zealand, have declared in favor of the Prince of Orange; and the whole province is daily expected to follow their example. This is good news for the Orange cause, as Zealand is one of the five Admiralties, and has a number of men of war in their ports, with a race of as good seamen, as the Dutch can any where boast of.
Brussels, July 3. The enthusiasm of liberty is at its height; the Burgesses have refused to pay fourier money, which they were to give, to exempt them from lodging the troops, until the final resolution of the Sovereign is known.
Four Commissioners have been named by the States of Brabant, for the purpose of examining with the Imperial Commissioners, into the state of the finances of the religious establishment.
The States of Holland have aded the Lion of Brabant to the arms of their province, and join in the common cause with the subjects as Brabant. The same thing has taken place with the States of Flanders, who have presented on the 6th of June last, a very full and particular declaration of their way of thinking, and the resolution which they have come to, to neglect no means of recovering their rights and privileges. Their Memorial is written with a great deal of spirit, and contains a list of the sums drawn from that Province, from the month of November 1755, unto the month of October last, 1787, the amount of which is brought to 74,581,484 florins 18—11.
On account of this declaration, the Nobility of the Province have presented an address to the States of Flanders, to congratulate them on having triumphed over the dangerous encroachments of aristocratical power.
Leyden, July 3. Our city has declared for the mediation of France; it is what we expected: Gorcum has also declared for that mediation, and that was not expected; but the burghers of that city, since the admission of a garrison of citizens, have a right to speak to their Regency, and to insist on their being adhered to.
L O N D O N, July 20.
On Tuesday night the three following Messengers were dispatched from the Secretary of State's Office, viz. Mr. Roworth and Mr. Deacon, to Berlin, by different routes; and Mr. Major to the Hague, from which place he arrived on Monday night last.
It may be presumed, that the return of these Messengers will bring a decisive answer from his Prussian Majesty, with respect to the conduct he means to pursue, in consequence of the present distracted affairs in Holland.
Wednesday a Dutch family paid a visit to the Bank, where they were treated with great respect, and, attended by the Beadle, were shown the different offices, and the nature of the business to which they are separately appropriated. The Ladies wore Orange coloured ribbons and fishes.
A piece of brass ordnance has been lately cast in Woolwich Warren, on a plan of one of his Majesty's principal engineers, a trial of which is to be made before the Board of Ordnance shortly in order to determine its utility. According to the report of the inventor, who states, that a cannon of such construction will require only 5-8ths of the usual quantity of gun-powder for its discharge, and yet will carry a ball farther, and with greater certainty of effect: He has also stated, that it is capable of further improvement. The saving in the article of gun-powder makes it worthy of notice.
The report circulated about 'Change, that our court had concluded a treaty offensive and defensive with the court of Berlin, was owing to the rumour from the Continent of a treaty between our Sovereign, as Elector of Hanover, and the King of Prussia.
It is generally believed at Berlin, that the King of England, as Elector of Hanover, has acceded to the above invitation of his Prussian Majesty; but that the Elector of Saxony, who had so readily entered into the Germanic League, had requested time to consider of the proposition. This requesting of time was understood simply to mean that the Elector wished for the delay,
for the purpose of sounding the court of Vienna, to which his Highness would not give any cause of discontent, at the moment when a negotiation is pending for the marriage of his son Prince Anthony of Saxony with one of the Archduchesses.
A letter from a Gentleman at Berlin says, that it was generally believed in that capital that the King of Prussia had called upon the different powers that are parties to the treaty concluded under the name of the Germanic League, to enter into a treaty for preventing the Prince of Orange from being despoiled of the prerogatives annexed to his offices of Captain and Admiral-General of the union; or in other words, to prevent any charge in the Batavian constitution, in the preservation of which so many powers, particularly those of Germany are deeply interested, as it cannot be overturned or altered without a war, which those have a right to endeavour to prevent, who might otherwise be involved in the consequences of it.
If the Minister of the King of Prussia, in his memorial to the States of Holland, uses moderate and temperate language, the King, his master, is determined to enforce the justice of his Ambassador's request, with very weighty and powerful arguments!—arguments ready to be enforced by the arms of SIXTY THOUSAND veteran troops, who have long been accustomed to conquer their enemies.
Madam La Chevalier D'Eon, is on a visit to the Duke of Dorset at Knowles:—of this remarkable Lady we learn, that the French Court has conceived some new cause of dissatisfaction against her!
On Monday last, came on to be tried at Guildhall, before Lord Loughborough, and special juries of the City of London, two causes; one action being brought by the Hon. Alexander Cockran, and the other by William Bett, Esq. Captains of the Navy, against Aretes Akers, of Queen's-square, Bloomsbury, Esq. Executor of the will of his father Aretes Akers, of the Island of St. Christopher's, to recover their shares of the proceeds of fourteen American vessels and one Dutch ship, which were captured off the Island of St. Eustatius, in the months of February and March, in the year 1781, by the fleet under the command of Lord Rodney, when verdicts were given in favor of the plaintiffs; and the Court and Jury, with a view to express the sense which they entertained of the propriety of Mr. Akers's conduct, gave interest to the plaintiffs for the detention of the prize money, from the month of May 1782. It is hoped that these verdicts will induce the agent to make an immediate distribution, as there are upwards of 7000 seamen entitled to share in the prize money, many of whom have but too much reason to lament that their own agent, and his representative, have not discharged their duty. The agent had flattered himself, that by refusing to permit the committee appointed by the captors, and their solicitors, to inspect the accounts and papers respecting the prizes, the plaintiffs would be unable to prove the exact amount of money which had been received by his father; but this scheme was frustrated by the aid of Lord Rodney, who attended the trials at the apparent risk of his health, in order to assist in asserting the rights of the captors, and his Lordship produced an account made out by the defendant's father in the year 1781, ascertaining the net sum arising from the sale of the prizes.
On Saturday a very interesting and important cause was tried before Mr. Justice Buller and a special Jury of Merchants in the Court of King's Bench at Guildhall, the determination in which is worthy the attention of all who navigate the English channel. The plaintiff complained that his ship, the Judy Randolph, had been run against and damaged by the ship Petersfield belonging to the Defendant; the Petersfield indeed being the smallest vessel went to the bottom, but nevertheless the Plaintiff's ship being damaged by the negligence of the Petersfield's crew, he brought his action against her owners: the cause lasted the whole day, but the rule adopted by the court and jury is all that it is our purpose to communicate. Mr. Erskine for the Plaintiff contended, that as the Judy Randolph was coming up the channel with the wind North by West, which after she had passed Dungennens kept her close by the wind, with her larboard tacks on board in order to reach the Downs, it was the duty of the Petersfield, who had the wind large, to pass her to leeward, and not to dispute the wind with her; it being a loss to a ship going to windward to be obliged to bear away, but none to a vessel going to leeward; and that as the accident happened by the Petersfield with the wind on the starboard beam, striking against the Judy Randolph, while she was close hauled on the larboard tack, and her sails indeed shivering, she was responsible for not having put her helm up and passed her to leeward: the witnesses on the Defendant's side not being able in their evidence to deny this rule, Mr. Justice Buller with great force and judgement stated the importance of preserving it, compared it to the rules of the road, by which the security of carriages was preserved; and desired the jury to find the custom if they thought it supported by the evidence; which they did accordingly, and gave a verdict for the Plaintiff. It appeared that the crew of the Petersfield had kept no look out.
The following humorous circumstance happened lately in the vicinity of Charing-Cross:—Two ladies of considerable distinction stopped in a carriage at a Jeweller's, one of them only got out; the coach stood across the causeway. Some gentlemen wanted to cross to the other side, and desired the coachman to move on a little—the fellow was surly and refused—the gentlemen remonstrated, but in vain. During the altercation, the lady came to the door of the shop, and
foolishly ordered the coachman not to stir from his place. One of the gentlemen, without hesitation, opened the coach door, and with boots and spurs on, went through the carriage; he was followed by his companions, to the extreme discomposure of the lady within, as well as the lady without. To complete the jest, a party of sailors coming by, observed in their way, that if that was a thoroughfare, why might not they go through as well as the gemmen, which the whole party actually did. The lady had some difficulty to get into her carriage, as a mob was soon collected to enjoy the scene. We hope she will take the wholesome correction in good part, and in future will avoid being tenacious of her consequence, to the violation of civility and common good manners.
The proofs of the liberality of this country are so multifarious, that to adduce them all would consume an age. A recent one, however, should be noticed, in justice to the generosity of Englishmen: there hath been a fire at Bolton, in New-England. From Bolton originated the first opposition to 'Great-Britain'; and during the whole of the war with America, the Bostonians shewed themselves the most inveterate enemies to this country. The Bolton newspapers contained more scurrility than those of any other province throughout the continent. Notwithstanding this, the Bostonians are sufferers by fire, and a subscription is opened in London for their relief. This is a glorious instance of obedience to that authority which commands us, "If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink."
Mr. Eden's appointment to Madrid, is that of Ambassador, with the usual appointment of 6000l. per annum.
Mr. Gibbon, Author of the History of the Decline of the Roman Empire, is on his way for England, having left Lausanne some days past, in perfect health.
Though the public papers of Paris admit none of those satirical personal squibs, so common in the London papers, the private Printers amuse us frequently with little works equally severe; and the names of the parties attacked are generally printed at length. A short paper of this kind has been handed about this week, under the title of Parceque , which signifies because . It is in the form of an advice to different persons named therein, each article concluding with a parceque . As all the parties are well known, the inference is easily made by the Reader. The following are some of the articles of advice.
We advise the Duchess of —— , and all other Ladies of the Court, who have neither wit nor beauty, not to be impertinent,— parceque .
We advise those young gentlemen who love play, and have not great skill, not to engage with the Duke of ——, the Marquis of ——, &c. &c. parceque .
We advise those gentlemen who make their Court to the Marchioness of —— , to take a great deal of snuff, and perfume their handkerchiefs,— parceque .
We advise the Duke of —— , by all means to be a cuckhold,— parceque .
We advise the Count of —— , and all the young Fools of Quality, not to drive their cabriolets against Monsieur de ——, when he has a stick in hand,— parceque .
We advise the Baron of —— , to stay more at home with his young wife,— parceque .
We advise the Countess of —— , not to sleep with her husband at present,— parceque .
NEW CAP. A-la-Mode de Paris.
The bonnet part represents a puff en guêpe de loup, made of Italian blue gauze— la guêpe de loup is represented by the upper part; the lower part is of the species of bonnets a la grand pretresse .
A garland of flowers, composed of yellow, green, and red crape, is placed on a band, composed of rose-coloured figured gauze; this divides the bonnet in two parts.
On the left side is a large plume of Jonquil coloured feathers, out of which issue three small sprigs of green feathers.
And a veil of white gauze falls down behind.
The gentlemen wear yellow and red striped coats, bound with black; black or blue buttons; striped taffety waistcoats, and yellow breeches.
Oval buckles, very large.
The hair is dressed in five curls on each side; two above and three below.
Extract of a letter from Ostend, July 11.
"The number of Dutch families that are arrived here, have taken up all the houses that were empty, and the foundations of several capital buildings are laid within 200 yards of the harbour fit for merchants, and ground marked out for more. Should the troubles in Holland continue, this will be as capital a town as Amsterdam or Rotterdam, for trade and commerce. The Emperor has sent orders for erecting two docks for building large ships, fit for the East India trade; and, in short, does every thing in his power to promote the welfare and happiness of his people."
D Ü B L I N, August 2.
It is much to the honour of some of the Scotch nobility and gentry, that they are traversing the coasts and islands of different parts of their native country, in order to find out some effectual means of rendering it essential service, by searching out for proper places to establish fishing stages. Instead of wasting their time in sloth and inactivity, as is but too much the custom with those who figure in the exalted spheres of life, those truly patriotic personages are endeavouring to point out such modes as may effectually conduce to the welfare of their fellow subjects, promote population, and render the hitherto wretched inhabitants of the Western Islands and the northern parts of Caledonia comfortable. Would our landed proprietors in this kingdom act in a similar manner,
it would prove of the highest advantage to the people in general.
When Peter the Great and his Empress Catherine, in 1710, travelled with an army of 40,000 troops into Western Tartary, and onwards to the borders of Persia, he had the object of conquest in view, as he subdued all before him—but it was really surprizing what occasioned the late expedition of the late imperial and royal personages to Kiow, the capital of the Russian Ukraine, where not a single purpose seems to have been answered, but merely that puppet-show greatness which Mr. Stretch has heretofore exhibited at his theatre in Chapel-street, when the court of the black King of Morocco, the royal family at St. James's, his most Christian Majesty, and the Princess of the blood, were all seen bowing to one another, and then went off in a very stately manner, attended by St. George and the Dragon.—Catherine was guarded by 50,000 men, who seemed to have raised their hands little higher than their mouths, which reminds us of that celebrated distich.
The King of France and 40,000 men
March'd up the hill, and then march'd down again.
L O N D O N D E R R Y, July 24.
A few days ago this city was honoured with a visit from the celebrated Mr. Howard, whose name, as a friend to the unfortunate, is pronounced with veneration in every country in Europe. The object of his present tour through this kingdom is to examine into the state of the Protestant Charter-schools, in the management of which, we understand, he has found too much cause for reprehension. During his stay here he paid particular attention to the situation and plan of our new goal, both of which, but particularly the latter, he expressed much dissatisfaction.—We sincerely hope the gentlemen of our county will listen to his objections, and avail themselves of his abilities and experience. Though the last fourteen years of his life have been employed in a ceaseless round of visiting prisons, hospitals, lazarettoes, and places infected with the plague, he at the age of sixty retains a sound and vigorous constitution.
A gentleman whom he favoured with much of his conversation, asked him what precaution he used to preserve health and prevent infection?— "Sir, (he replied) precautions which would render physicians endeavours useless—temperance and cleanliness."

The Peggy, Captain Peyton, from this port, was drove out of St. Eustatia Roads, on the 24th ult. and afterwards lost on Saba. A man and two boys perished.
The brig Peggy, Captain Hamilton, is arrived in Potowmack, after a passage of seven weeks from Glasgow.
New-York, October 3.
Yesterday commenced the Races at Haerlem, where uncommon sport was produced by five competitors, for the FIFTY POUNDS PURSE; the equal contention of the several Racers extended it to four heats; and the Purse was won by Mr. Nash's bay mare, who secured the first and fourth heats, notwithstanding she was not the favourite of the field at starting.—The Races will be continued this day and to-morrow.
Extract of a letter from Cape Fear to a Gentleman in this City, dated June 30, 1787.
"Sir,
"I was shipped on board the Schooner Trumbull, at Newpoint-Comfort, bound to Charleston, South Carolina. We went from Newpoint-Comfort to Hampton Road, Virginia, and were cut out the same evening by some pirates. They have one of the owners overboard same evening, and when they got out of the Capes they threw the pilot and one man that was wounded overboard. On the third day they all left us, a little north of Cape Hatteras, and endeavoured to get to shore, but I believe they did not make it: they left us by reason of some vessels appearing which they took to be Algerines. They took the cabin boy with them. The morning after they were gone, the Captain ordered the mate (as he was not able to go on deck) to proceed for Charleston, where we were bound. We proceeded on our voyage, but on the third night were run down by a large ship, and lost all our hands but the Captain, who lay very sick in the cabin, the mate, one man and myself. Next morning Captain Griffin died: a little before he died he begged us to endeavour to get to our port, and there publish the whole transaction, and to inform Mr. Linche's friends, at New-York or Long-Island, of his death, as he owned part of the vessel and cargo. Same day we were boarded by a Spanish vessel; they hove part of their cargo overboard and took in what they could of ours. They scuttled our vessel on both bows, but she did not sink while we were in sight. They carried us to Porto Rico, where we were confined in the fore-castle till they failed for the Spanish Main. A short time after we were separated from the mate, who desired me to inform the other owner (who lives in Norfolk, but whose name I have forgot) of the transaction."

HYMN TO HEALTH.
FIRST-born of Heaven! for without Blest HEALTH, the gods themselves w'd be Oppress'd by Immortality! Come then, thou best of blessings! come, And make my humble roof thy home; Propitious come, and shed a ray Of gladness on my sitting day. For if there be in wealth a charm, It joys the parent's bosom warm, Whate'er the good, to thee 'tis giv'n To perfect ev'ry boon of Heav'n. If diadems the Fancy please, Thy hand must make them fit with ease: Loft without thee were Cupid's wiles, And Venus owes thee half her smiles. Whate'er we hope, whate'er endure, Thou giv'st the enjoyment, or the cure; Where'er thou spread'st thy balmy wing, Ills vanish, blooming pleasures spring; All wishes meet in thee alone, For Happiness and HEALTH are one!
For Grist Mills and other Water Works,
On an extensive Plan, One of the best Situations in America is offered
FOR SALE,
Together with
Batsto Iron-Works,
At the Forks of Little Egg-Harbour River, one of the most healthy spots in New-Jersey, 38 Miles by land from Philadelphia, and within a few hours sail of New-York.
THE river communicating with the sea by the best inlet on the Jersey coast, is navigable for vessels of 200 tons, within a few miles of the Works; those of 100 tons may approach within one mile; flats and scows, carrying 10 or 12 tons, load and unload at the Works. The usual Freight to New-York or Phila- delphia is 10 Shillings per Ton. The Furnace stream affords plenty of water, in the driest season, for three or four pair of mill-stones, besides supplying the Iron Works. An excellent Dam, which has been increas- ing in strength many years, by the cinder from the furnace, is well secured from the danger of fresher, and the Works are scarcely ever injured or delayed by either ice or back-water, though the tide swells to the foot of the dam: Mills may therefore be erected at a moderate expence. This being a part of the country in which many people and many teams are necessarily employed in collecting and preparing for market the Iron and Lumber with which it abounds, and at the same time ill adapted to the raising of grain for their support, there is, and must continue to be, a demand for large quantities of Midlings, Cor- nell, Shorts and Bran, at advanced prices; and the conveniency of conveying Flour, at a light expence, either to New-York or Philadelphia, or to more dis- tant markets, will not be overlooked nor considered as of small importance, especially as there are few mill seats of any considerable capacity equally adapted to the New-York market, which is not unfrequently supplied with superior Flour from Philadelphia. A choice of the various kinds of Wheat may be drawn to this seat from Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New- Jersey, and New-York, with greater ease and conven- ience than to almost any other mills now in being.
The FURNACE, which by the extensive Lands annexed to it, is abundantly supplied with Wood and Ore, is now in Blast, and is noted for producing the best Hollow Ware in America, the Metal being pecu- liarly well adapted to the making of Castings of all kinds, as well as excellent Bar-Iron.
A FORGE, with four Fires and two Hammers, belongs to the estate, and stands about half a mile from the furnace, on another fine stream which affords plenty of water.
A SLITTING and ROLLING MILL, having been disused for the last two or three years, may want some repairs to prepare it for use; but the Fore-Bays and Gates are in perfect order, and being in the pro- per spot for Grist-Mills, may be app- d iated to that use.
Two SAW MILLS in good order, and a small GRIST MILL.
The MANSION HOUSE is elegantly situated about 100 yards from the furnace, on an height which commands a view of the whole works, and of the two villages formed by the surrounding buildings belonging to the estate, such as barns, stables, coal houses, work-shops, storehouses and dwellings for work- men. Adjoining the mansion house is a

Respecting Burns' Poems.
THE Fame of this Author is spreading ra- pidly, and the Merit of his Works is acknowledged by all who have had an oppor- tunity of seeing them. The Demand for these Poems was so great, that the whole of the first Edition (only published last May) were sold in a few Weeks, and the second Edition is already printed in London, Price Six Shillings, Sterling, in boards.
The following Criticism is extracted from the Lounger, a recent and much esteemed periodical Publication:
"I know not if I shall be accused of Partiality, when I introduce to Notice a Poet of our own Country, with whose Writings I have lately become acquainted; but if I am not greatly deceived, I think I may safely pronounce him a Genius of no ordinary Rank. The Person to whom I allude is ROBERT BURNS, an Ayrshire Ploughman, whose Poems were some time ago published in a country Town in the West of Scotland, with no other Ambition, it would seem, than to circulate among the Inhabitants of the Country where he was born, to obtain a little Fame from those who had heard of his Talents. I hope I shall not be thought to assume too much, if I endeavour to place him in a higher point of View, to call for a Verdict of his Country on the Merit of his Works, and to claim for him those Honours which their Excellence appears to de- serve.
"His Poem entitled 'The Vision,' discovers a high tone of Feeling, a power and energy of Ex- pression, particularly and strongly characteristic of the Mind and Voice of a Poet. Of Strains like the above Poem, solemn and sublime, with that Rapture and inspired Melancholy in which the Poet lifts his Eye 'above this visible diurnal Sphere,' the Poems entitled 'Despondency,' 'the Lament,' 'Winter, a Dirge,' and the 'Invocation to Ruin,' afford no less striking Examples. Of the Tender and the Moral, Specimens equally advantageous might be drawn from the elegiac Verses, entitled, 'Man was made to mourn,' from 'The Cotter's Saturday Night,' the Stanzas, 'To a Mouse,' or those 'To a Mountain Daisy.'— The Power of Genius is not less admirable in tracing the Manners, than in painting the Pas- sions, or in drawing the Scenery of Nature. Whoever will read his lighter and more humorous Poems, his 'Dialogue of the Dogs,' his 'Dedica- tion to G— H— Esq.' his 'Epistle to a young Friend,' and 'To W— S—,' will perceive with what uncommon Penetration and Sagacity this Heaven-taught Ploughman, from his humble and unlettered Station, has looked upon Men and Manners.
"Burns possesses the Spirit as well as the Fancy of a Poet. That honest Pride and In- dependence of Soul, which are sometimes the Muse's only Dowry, break forth on every Occa- sion in his Works."
