Farther Advices by the ship Everetta, from Liverpool.
BERLIN, October 4. Positive advices were received here this day, of prince Potemkin having been repulsed, with considerable loss, in an attempt to storm the first battery of the out-works, of Oczakow, on the first of September last; and that the Austrian and Russian generals Speny and Elmpf have likewise been repulsed in the neighborhood of Jassy.
VIENNA, September 27. Advices have been received from the combined army encamped near Chotzyn, dated the 19th inst. that the garrison having proposed to surrender that fortress by capitulation, the prince de Cobourg, in concert with Count de Soltikoff, had agreed to receive seven of the principal inhabitants as hostages, for the surrender of the place on the 29th, when the garrison were to march out with their arms, having three days before delivered up all the effects and warlike stores belonging to the Porte.
LONDON, October 12. The campaign of this year must now be nearly if not altogether at an end. The Austrians who fought for honor, have gained some. The enemies, who contended for territory, has gained an inch—while the coffers of both must have been pretty well drained.
The grand Vizier is something more than the WASHINGTON of Turkey—While he employs the good offices of the AMERICAN FARMS, in not hazarding any thing, where little is to be got, yet he does not shrink from an engagement, but rather encourages it, convinced that his resources can much sooner supply any loss than those of his enemies.
Should the states of Sweden negotiate with the empress, and acknowledge, as it is said they are ready to do, the impolicy of the war the king entered into, this will amount to such a revolution as will reverse all that was done in 1773, when they limited their republican form, and made the king almost absolute—reserving, indeed, only the power which they now seem disposed to employ.
Extract of a letter from a British officer in the service of Russia, dated at Riga, Sept. 17.
"If the exertions of the artificers at this place are well seconded, the empire must soon rise superior to what has lately been expected, or, perhaps would be the interest of Europe to desire.
"My last informed you how greatly the state shipping was improved, and to how little purpose from the want of seamen; but the activity of government has been powerfully assisted by the general hatred of the Turks, the accounts of whose cruelty, perhaps exaggerated, has sent into the service numbers who were not to be acted upon but by the spirit of retaliation and revenge; that spirit seems to pervade almost every Russian breast, and it is not in some degree repressed by the commanders, quarter will not be given or received. The British mode of building is universally adopted in the dock-yards, where there are a vast number of our countrymen in the different departments, and if much care is not taken in England to prevent it, I can venture to declare their number will very speedily encrease. A fine ship, 76 guns, was launched here three days ago, which this morning came into dock to be coppered, and by the end of next week three sail of the line and a frigate of 40 guns, will be ready to proceed whenever the service of the state may require them. We are told, far as the season is advanced, we are to join the squadron under the command of admiral Greig."
We learn by authentic letters from Petersburg, dated the 8th, that the Russian court is not only induced through the medium of the king of Prussia, to agree to a suspension of arms with Sweden, but also, out of respect to the said mediation, to forget all that has passed, on condition that Sweden does not accept of the mediation between Russia and the Porte; that she dismiss her fleet; and that the king of Prussia takes upon him to guarantee the execution of these conditions. Both the Russian and Prussian ministers here do not scruple to say that peace will soon be re-established in the north under these conditions.
France is negotiating with Sweden, at a time when she appears as if she would take no part in the present contest between that power and Russia. Prince Charles de Rohan-Rochefort has a private commission to treat personally with his Swedish majesty, upon business which is of too delicate a nature to be communicated even to the French Ambassador is ordinary. The prince is assisted in this business by the baron de Perre.
In Germany there is not the least prospect of peace; on the contrary, the Emperor is actually negotiating with the different princes of the empire for hiring large bodies of their troops.
Those who, in their impatience of temper, and indignation at the conduct of Russia towards this country during the last war, wished well to every enemy that might attack that empire, will be forced to confess, that the King of Sweden has made but a sorry figure. It does not appear from his state papers, that he can assign such a cause for hostilities as is justifiable, even allowing for the irritability of regal mind.—And if such cause could have been alleged, to enter upon a war suddenly, without consulting his states, who have the power of refusing supplies, was no proof of wisdom, and from the beginning afforded little hope of success. This short war, however, is now at an end; for what can a monarch do, when his officers and his subjects are disaffected, when one part of his fleet is blocked up, and the other incapable to release it?
The answers of the court at Copenhagen, are spirited and sensible, and what is seldom found in such papers, are plain and intelligible. But it yet remains to be determined, whether, in consequence of the cessation of hostilities in Finland, the assistance of Denmark will be contributed. Mean time we have assurance from abroad, that the English and French ministers at the courts of Copenhagen and Stockholm, are interposing to conclude the dispute amicably, which, in other words, is to delay it to an opportunity more favorable than the present. There is but little confidence to be put in the treaties between crowned heads; peace is at best but a cessation of hostilities.
OCTOBER 14. The emperor has strengthened the house of Austria by another alliance, which will secure the tranquility of his Italian dominions, and of the great Dukedom of Tuscany, belonging to his brother. A treaty of marriage has been concluded between his Royal Highness the Duke d'Asse, second son to the king of Sardinia, and her Royal Highness the Arch-duchess Teresa, eldest daughter to his Royal Highness Arch-duke Ferdinand, of Austria. This prince, who is governor of Austrian Lombardy, for his brother the emperor of Germany, is the same who was on a visit to this country the summer before last; and because he was governor of Milan and the Milanese, was generally, though improperly, called Duke of Milan.

From the Critical Review, for Sept. 1788.
Considerations on the relative Situations of France, and the United States of America. Translated from the French of Etienne Claviere, and J. P. Brissot de Warville.
THE separation of America from Great-Britain has opened to the French an extensive commerce, which it is doubtless their business to cultivate with all possible assiduity. To route a spirit of enterprise for this purpose, and to direct its operations, is the design of the work now before us, the authors of which appear to have meditated on the subject with great attention. It is, however, a circumstance mortifying to their zeal, that the people of France, in general, discover an indifference for the prosecution of this commerce; occasioned, as these authors suppose, by the want of information, and ultimately by the despotism which restrains the freedom of the press in that country.
The authors begin with taking a view of exterior commerce; the circumstances which led to it, and the means of injuring it to a nation; considering this commerce afterwards in its means of exchange and its balance. They then proceed to apply the principles previously laid down, to the reciprocal commerce of France and the United States. They observe that France has every means of procuring a great commerce, and such as must ensure it to her in the United States; that her productions are proper for them, and that their particular interior circumstances oblige them to engage in this commerce.
These authors are sometimes at great pains to prove propositions which nobody will deny; and at other times endeavour to enforce propositions by arguments which are far from being convincing. After establishing it as a principle, that it is exterior commerce which renders a nation great and flourishing, they maintain that the American states ought never to cultivate this traffic, and that they should rather invite Europeans to their parts than frequent those of the European states. We shall readily admit, that for some years the Americans ought chiefly to devote their attention to agriculture; but the authors before us carry this injunction to too great a latitude, when they propose that it should be cultivated to the total neglect of manufactures and exterior commerce, through all succeeding ages.
'By preventing, or at least retarding, the rise of manufactures within their provinces, the Americans will stop the decay of morals and public spirit; for if manufactures bring gold into the states they bring at the same time a poison which undermines them. They resemble a number of individuals whose nature and morals are at once corrupted; they form and accustom men to servitude, and give in a republic a preponderance to aristocratical principles, and by accumulating riches in a small number of hands, they cause republics to incline to aristocracy.'
That 'manufactures form and accustom men to servitude,' is a new doctrine in politics, not easily reconcilable with experience. Both manufactures and commerce, so far from being unfavorable to liberty, are in reality, the most effectual means of promoting it; and it is by the spirit of independence which they have introduced, that, in our own country, the democratical part of the constitution has risen to its present importance. If the Americans be exposed to any danger from aristocratical ascendancy, they may experience it as much in agriculture as in the prosecution of manufactures. For, unless they introduce an equal division of property by an agrarian law, there will always remain a political influence attached to the proprietors of land, in proportion to the extent of their possessions.
The authors next give a detail of the importations to be made from France into the United States, and of the wants of the United States, and the productions of France which correspond to them. Three questions are agitated in this part of the work. 1st. 'Is it proper for free America to cultivate the vine and to make wine?' The authors maintain the negative, and endeavour to prove that the vine is an incommodeous, and not a very lucrative property; that wine at too low a price would be a dangerous production in republics; and that it is better to get wine from abroad. 2d. 'Ought not free America, in renouncing this culture, to give the preference to French wines?' This question the authors determine very laconically, by affirming, that the French wines are, without dispute, the most wholesome and agreeable. 3d. 'What means ought to be taken to ensure them a preference?' They answer by recommending the cultivation of the vine, improving the manner of making wine, and instituting establishments which would render the profits less precarious. For effectuating these several purposes, different means are proposed.
The importations to be made from France into the American States, according to these authors, are wines, brandy, cloth, linens, silks, ribbands, silk stockings, and various other articles; among which, notwithstanding the warm exhortations given by these authors to the Americans against the encouragement of luxury, we find gold and silver laces enumerated.
We infer the following extract as it not only contains some acknowledgments which are favorable to the British woollen manufactures, but justifies the policy adopted by the legislature, with respect to the exportation of wool.
'We owe little gratitude to those of our speculators, who first, and at the beginning of the revolution, dispersed our cloths in the United States. If one spark of public spirit had animated them, they would have perceived the precious and honorable service which they were able to render to their country in these first adventures, by giving to the Americans a great idea of the state of our manufactures. These people were well disposed to the succour France gave them, to cherish its inhabitants, to esteem their character and receive their productions. They were well disposed to abjure the contempt and aversion with which the English had inspired them for their rivals and their productions, and to give them the preference in everything. Why has avarice, by a miserable calculation, rendered these good dispositions of no effect? Men were willing to gain, to gain greatly; to make what is called a good stroke, in taking advantage of the distress of the Americans, and forcing them to take those commodities which were unfit for every other market.'
This dishonesty has counterbalanced the service rendered them; for the imprudent and wretched young man, whose throat is cut by an avenger, owes him no acknowledgment. A greater evil to France has been the consequence—her cloths have lost their reputation in the United States. But let the Americans undeviate themselves; let them not attribute to the nation the fault of a few individuals; let them not have a bad opinion of our cloths, because some bad ones have been sent to them. The same accident would have happened to English cloths, if in a like case there had been English merchants avaricious enough and so far strangers to the public good, as to send their refuse to the United States.
The Americans who come among us, study the nature of the intercourse, which we the one day have with the United States; they know that our manufacturers possess all the means which give to English cloths their reputation; that they make them in the same manner, and that the superiors are superior to those of England; that in general, dying is better understood with us and carried to a greater perfection: in short that it depends but on some circumstances, easy to be got over, to make the cheapness of our workmanship assure us the preference to the English, with respect to cloths.
Why do our manufacturers of cloths contend with so great a disadvantage against those of Eng and? It is here necessary to develop the cause; it is the best means of encouraging government to take every measure, which will, without extraordinary or forced expedients that are of short duration, relate us to all the advantages we have received from nature. Confidence will be restored to the Americans when they see the new obstacles we have to surmount.
Lord Sheffield, in avowing the superiority of our fine cloths, and of their cheapness, observes, that the greatest consumption of the Americans is of common cloths, with respect to which France cannot enter into a competition with England. And he draws from it the judicious consequence, that the inconvenience of dividing the demands to compose alignments, and the consideration of the small quantity of fine cloth necessary to form them, will cause these to be ordered in England, notwithstanding the advantage there would be in getting them from France.
But why should we not furnish common cloths to the United States; we, whose workmanship is at a lower price than that of the English? It is because in common cloths, the price of the raw material is more essential than that of workmanship, and that the English have wools not only better but cheaper than we have. And for why? Because they gather their own wool, and that, except the wools of Spain, indispensable to superfine cloths, far from standing in need of foreign wools, they can even spare a considerable surplus to other nations, notwithstanding the prodigious use they make of them in their own manufactures, whilst we are obliged to import from abroad more than one half of the wool necessary to ours, which are, without comparison, less numerous and considerable than those of England.
The authors afterwards enumerate the various articles which America may furnish in return for importations from France. These are, tobacco, flax, whale oil, spermaceti candles, coin, and flour, masts, yards and other timbers for the navy; furs and skins; rice, indigo, flax-seed, turpentine, pitch, tar, &c.
From several principles and arguments advanced by these authors in the course of this work, we cannot help suspecting them to be actuated with a design of encreasing the commercial interests of France at the expence of those of America. But the United States are, probably too sharp-sighted to be rendered the dupes of foreign artifice, in adjusting the establishment of their own policy.

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 Electary is compounded, and as complaints were made that the last, sold by the Ap- othecary was not good, the proprietor assures the Pub- lic 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. Wainwrights Store, warranted good by the proprietor. Experience, the best criterion to go by, evinces the Electary 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 colds.

To the Public. An attempt having been made by a certain person, to occasion a belief of his having my receipt for preparing the SPECIFIC SOLUTION; I do solemnly declare, that no one (except a gentleman of the medical line, in the state of Maryland, whose honor I could rely on for keeping it to himself) ever had from me the receipt; that the discovery is entirely my own, made during my residence in the island of St. Kitts, where I had under my care (as Surgeon to the estates of the Hon. John Julius, Esq. and General Mathew) upwards of 500 negroes, for more than two years; that during my practice on these estates seventy-four Venereal patients came under my care, that the Specific Remedy was the only one used, and that it never failed me: To prove, which, any gentleman is heartily welcome to peruse a certificate given me by the Hon. John Julius, on my resigning the practice of these estates.—As a regular bred Surgeon, I never should have offered a nostrum to the public, but being a very sickly person, rendered by disease incapable of attending much to out door practice, I could not conceive it derogatory to the dignity of physical character to bring home that business which want of health would not allow my attending abroad. The public may rest assured that no person has my receipt for the preparing the Specific Remedy, and will therefore guard against its being intruded on them as such. S H E E D. Nov. 14. 27 No. 70, Cherry-street.
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 it virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch on its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and afforded 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.

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 cast 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 Tuijl'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.

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 them 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 which 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 tiles, 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 tiles, 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, 17/ total, 22/.
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, 17/ total, 23/.
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, 17/ total, 24/.
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, 17/ total, 25/.
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 expense 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 said 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, shipchandlers, tallowchandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or color-men; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, resin, 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 repaid within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street. December 2, 1788.
