L O N D O N, OCTOBER 9.
A F F A I R S O F S W E D E N.
As our readers may not be acquainted with the reasons that induced great numbers of officers in the king of Sweden's army to throw up their commissions...
These officers appear not to have been actuated by disgust to the service, or disloyalty to the king: on the contrary, they appear to have acted under the influence of attachment to the constitution...
When the present king of Sweden, in 1772, effected a revolution in the constitution of his country, he presented to the diet of the nation a NEW FORM OF GOVERNMENT...
The XLVIIIth section of the new form of government so presented to the diet, expressly declares, "That the king shall not begin an offensive war, without the previous consent of the STATES of the country, in DIET ASSEMBLED."
The question, therefore, that must determine whether the present war carrying on by Sweden against Russia, is or is not CONSTITUTIONAL, is simply this—"Is this war OFFENSIVE?"
His majesty, without calling a meeting of the diet, to obtain their previous consent, assembled his army, put his fleet to sea and gave the Russians battle. The officers, who threw up their commissions after they reached Finland, could not think themselves warranted in doing so sooner, because it was to be presumed that the king would not act unconstitutionally...
Whether the officers, who without any other authority than the mere will of the king, without the previous consent of the STATES of the nation, and even without the knowledge of the states, suffer themselves to be employed in a war that has all the appearance of being offensive on our part...
There was no difference of opinion with respect to the illegality of an offensive war, undertaken by the king, without the previous consent of the STATES; all the officers present concurred in declaring that such a war was unconstitutional...
The king was not apprized of what might happen at this meeting, or he would have prevented it; for it was not called co nomine , for discussing this subject...
The day after the meeting, FIVE FIELD OFFICERS waited on his majesty, and laid their commissions at his feet, at the same time assigning their reasons for such a step...
But notwithstanding the appearance of firmness which his majesty assumed on this occasion, he was never more alarmed in his life; he instantly gave up the idea of acting offensively for the present, and returned to Sweden...
He probably flattered himself, that thetered himself, that the rapidity of his conquests, and the splendor of his victories, which would recover great territories torn from Sweden in the moment of her adversity...
The next war, whenever we shall have the misfortune to see it break out, will unquestionably be infinitely more expensive than any which this country ever had to sustain.
ously, ought to pray most fervently, that Heaven, in its mercy, would guard us from any share of the war which at present distresses the North of Europe.
The court of Portugal is sending out a considerable force to the Portuguese settlements in the East-Indies; the alarm occasioned by the designs of Tippoo Saib, upon Goa, has made her most faithful majesty resolve to put her possessions on the Malabar coast in such a posture of defence...
On the 6th of September, at 5 P. M. a Russian frigate and a Swedish frigate met, a few leagues south of Sweabourgh, and engaged violently for three hours...
So barefaced have been the frauds of bankrupts, as to occasion that great judge Lord Thurlow, to lay in Lincoln's-Inn-Hall, on a bankrupt petition—"If I cannot get the laws of bankrupts put in a better train, so as at least to keep up the appearance of common honesty, they had better be demolished altogether."
N E W - Y O R K, Dec. 17.

A writer in late Caledonian Mercury, respecting the proceedings of the convention of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, convened for the purpose of assenting to and ratifying the constitution...
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Kentucky, to his friend in Richmond, Virginia.
"Since our departure, our politics have taken a turn. Many artifices have been practised to uphold a sinking cause, but all will not do—I need not make any observations upon the conduct of your countrymen, as I suppose you will be better informed by others.
"Gentlemen, WE the independent electors of Fayette county, reposing special trust and confidence in your wisdom, integrity and attachment to the weal of this district, have appointed you to represent us in a convention to be held at Danville, on the first Monday in next month...
"Your old neighbor has lately bursted with all the contents of his spleen from the press, reflecting upon the magistrates as perjured; and reproaching the militia for doing their duty.
to take offence at any thing he does. He is happily void of feeling; himself and his power will never be formidable in Kentucky.—Our member of Congress seems much out of humor that he has been so little attended to in the oracle way.
"The independents asserted that six votes in a county would be sufficient to constitute representatives, and there was not any other method to deal peaceably with them, but to vote in men who were attached to government.
Price-Current at Brandywine Mills. Wheat, 5s. and 9d. to 6s. and 3d. per bushel. Indian-Corn, from 2s. and 6d. to 2s. and 10d. Oats, from 1s. and 3d. to 1s. and 6d. per do.

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 cask 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 asked 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 found and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

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. The discovery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Sept. 25.
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 trying 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 them till an accident happens, the bereaved improvident 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, 11/ total, 16/.
FOURTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6/ deposit, 14/ total, 20/.
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, 14/ total, 21/.
SIXTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8/ deposit, 11/ total, 19/.
SEVENTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10/ deposit, 21/ total, 31/.
The experience 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 28/ 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 £. 2 5 0
Which shews the expense 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, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or coal men; 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 individuals it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street. Dec. 2, 1783. tm.
