Vienna, March 26. It is reported that the Republic of Venice has declared war against the Porte. They say that the Pacha of Scutari has offered the Emperor 40,000 troops. It is thought at least, that some five offer is the reason of the Pacha's son being at present in this capital.
We are assured that an alliance, offence and defensive, is concluded between our Court and that of Berlin, and that the King of Prussia is to march 60,000 men to the frontiers of Poland.
Lisbon, March 2. Her Majesty has ratified the treaty of commerce, signed by her Minister at the Court of Peterburgh on the 22nd of December last, after 3 years negotiation. The substance of it is, that the subjects of Portugal and Russia shall reciprocally enjoy in the two estates, all the privileges and exemptions, which are enjoyed by the subjects of the other powers in amity with the two contracting Sovereigns. It is inserted in the clauses of this treaty, that Portugal shall not oppose the passage of the Russian fleet.
Paris, April 3. The same Family Compact by which the King of Spain claims 24,000 men of France, authorises the Emperor to demand a similar succour of 24,000 troops, or 24 millions of money, of the Court of Versailles, which succour was stipulated to be granted in case the Emperor, or the allies he is bound to assist, are attacked. We are assured, that the Count de Mercy Argenteau, the Imperial Ambassador, has received some fresh instructions from his Court, charging him to represent to the King of France, that he ought to grant the required succour of 24,000 men.
L O N D O N, April 18—30.
Extract of a letter from Warsaw, March 15. "A letter from the frontiers informs us, that on the 29th of February the Turks in Moldavia set fire to one of their villages, situated on the Dniester, and made as if they would burn the little town of Ottakow, belonging to them; but General de Witte, at Kamieniec, fearing lest the fire should communicate to Swanieck, hindered them, by threatening to light the signals, and bring the Russian and Austrian armies upon them."
"The Russian army, commanded by Count Romanzow, is composed of 65,000 men, and reaches from Brazlaw as far as Choczeim to the Austrian army."
"When about 10,000 Austrian troops were lately assembled in the neighborhood of Kamieniec, the Pacha of Choczeim wrote to Count Potocki, and demanded of him, "Why the Republic of Poland permitted those foreign troops likewise to pass themselves on their territory? The Porte concluded from thence that Poland would join the Russians and Austrians, and no longer observe the treaties subsisting between them and Poland."
A letter from Ferrol, April 5, says, "The armaments which for some time continued thro' every department at this place were in a degree checked about ten days ago, in consequence of an express from Madrid; but on the arrival of a courier from the same place yesterday morning, a vast number of additional hands were employed in the dock yard, and the men of war are fitting for sea with every possible dispatch."
The son of one of the greatest Marshals of France, and himself a Field Marshal, has been convicted of having put in his pocket a porte feuille containing 30,000 livres (1250l.).
"The above Marshal went to a Notary Public, with whom he had some business, and observing that thirty bank notes, all black (the blacks are of a thousand livres) were put up in a porte feuille, and laid up with some loose papers, took the opportunity of putting it into his pocket the moment the Notary went into his closet to speak to some persons who had business to transact with him. On his return the Notary missed the porte feuille, and ringing immediately for one of his servants, "Have you been into the room, says he, since you spoke to me?" The servant answered, "No Sir." The Notary then boldly asked the Marshal for the porte feuille with the greatest assurance; the Marshal answered, that he would make the Notary pay dearly for his daring to accuse a man of his character."
When the Notary heard from his servant, a trusty man, that he had not been into the room, he made a particular sign, by which his servant understood he was to fetch an Exempt de Police (a Justice's officer). The moment the Marshal saw the man, he turned himself to him, and in a very facetious tone, thus addressed him, "I wanted to make this worthy man fret a little about his 30,000 livres, for it is really I who put them out of the way; here they are," and leaning his back to a chair, let the porte feuille drop upon it. His Majesty having been informed of this scandalous and ungentleman like transaction, is determined to punish the Marshal by banishment.
Extract of a letter from Toulon, April 7.
"We are in daily expectation here of the arrival of the Ambassadors from Tippoo Saib; some say that his son is to come with them, that cannot be, as he is only 12 years old. The Court has given precise orders to use the greatest dispatch and magnificence in their preparations to receive them. They have fitted up the hotel of the commander of the marine for their reception, and have fetched carriages for them from Marseilles. The same preparations are ordered at Brest, where they are to land. They have likewise sent some of his Majesty's coaches for their use."
The following proof of the ignorance of a country jury, very much excited the risibility of the Court. At the last Assizes in Cornwall, after Mr. Justice Grose, with his usual precision, had summed up the evidence in a cause for the recovery of a small debt, the jury retired, and in a short time after the foreman appeared, and informed the judge, that there was only one juror for the defendant, and eleven for the plaintiff. He was desired to return to the rest, and consider the verdict. The foreman, sometime afterwards, came again, and told the judge there were four for the defendant and eight for the plaintiff, and requested the judge would give the verdict; but being informed, that could not be done, he retired, and soon afterwards returned with a verdict for the defendant.
Friday his Majesty, attended by Sir George Young, Sir William Chambers, and others, visited Somerset House, for the purpose of viewing a wonderful piece of mechanism, which now stands on the terrace at that building. It is an hospital, and constructed upon an excellent plan. It is in length 24 feet, breadth 22, height at the side 8 feet, at top 11. It contains about 300 pieces, and 680 screws. On each side there are nine springs, of about one foot and a half in length, and two feet wide; these openings are occasionally pushed up for the purpose of letting in air. There are 20 windows on each side, containing one small pane of thick glass. The beams go on hinges, and the top is covered with copper. The whole building can be moved in two wagons. The mechanics employed on the occasion took the whole to pieces in fourteen minutes, and replaced them again complete, so as to form the whole building entire in another space of 40 minutes. His Majesty appeared highly satisfied, and bestowed marks of approbation on the building, which were very flattering to the inventor, whom we are told is Mr. Wyatt of the Albion Mills. It is intended to be sent to Barbadoes.
Lady Vane, whose death we lately announced; that Lady, who "could tell what ills from beauty spring," actually wrote, and superintended the press while they were printing, those anecdotes respecting herself which are introduced in the celebrated novel of Peregrine Pickle, and which in beauty of composition are so superior to the rest of that work. Doctor Smollett received a very handsome reward for inserting them, but had no share whatever in preparing them for the public eye. Her Ladyship's life affords a melancholy instance of the miseries inseparable from a misapplication of superior talents and elegant accomplishments.
— APRIL 30. —
The Duke of Orleans, since his recall by the King from his temporary exile, will make good his promise of a visit to the Prince of Wales, at Brightelmstone, and a trip into Yorkshire in the course of the approaching summer.
Advices were yesterday afternoon received from Paris of the safe arrival of his Grace the Duke of Dorset in that city, on Friday last.
Matters are at last actually in train for the resignation of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who goes out on a pension, and whose increasing infirmities are such as to make that step highly necessary. Who will be his successor is not yet agreed upon. The present Lord Chief Baron was offered it some years ago, upon the expected resignation of Lord Lifford; and he will now, it is said, have the same offer, which, considering the high office, emoluments, and the Peerage annexed to it, we can hardly think will be refused.
A general engagement is said to have taken place on the frontiers of Georgia, in which 20,000 Tartars were cut to pieces by the Russians. This, as the first unfortunate event in the war, the Divan seem to be anxious to keep secret. We hear from Trieste, that the number of small vessels taken by the Austrians from the Turks amounted already to 181.
A letter from Philadelphia says, that the savages bordering on the back settlements have killed and scalped upwards of 100 men and women, and carried off a considerable booty.
A letter from Middleburgh says, that tranquillity is far from being re-established in that Province. Animosity and mutual suspicion still prevail between the two parties. The settlement is but temporary, and the French faction are not without sanguine hopes of again having the ascendancy.
Extract of a letter from Paris, April 21.
"On the 18th inst. died, George Le Clerc, Count de Buffon, Lord of Montbard, Marquis of Rougemont, Viscount of Quincey, Intendant of the King's Gardens and Cabinets of Natural History, Member of the French Academy of Sciences; Fellow of the Royal Society of London, and of the Royal and Literary Societies of Berlin, Peterburgh, Bologna, Florence, Edinburgh, Philadelphia, Dijon, &c. He was one of the most elegant writers in France in point of style; a man of uncommon genius, and surprising eloquence."
D U B L I N — April 19.
Yesterday his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, escorted in the manner usual on state occasions, proceeded to the House of Peers, whither the Commoners being summoned, his Excellency gave the Royal Assent to 26 bills.
His Excellency was then pleased to make the following speech:
"My Lords and Gentlemen,"
"The very constant and zealous attention which you have given to the dispatch of public business, enables me at this early period of the year to close the session of Parliament. And I feel the highest gratification in expressing to you his Majesty's entire satisfaction in the temper and wisdom which have uniformly distinguished your deliberations."
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,"
"I am commanded by his Majesty particularly to thank you for the warm attention which you have shewn to the honor and interest of his Crown, and for the liberality with which you have provided for the several branches of the public service."
"My Lords and Gentlemen,"
"No object is nearer to his Majesty's heart than the prosperity of his faithful subjects of Ireland; and I reflect with pleasure that your example and influence in your several counties cannot fail to advance that prosperity, by encouraging habits of industry in the people, and impressing upon their minds a due respect for the laws. I am happy that the national tranquillity and security enable you to attend to those important objects with peculiar advantage."
"I trust that it is unnecessary to repeat my acknowledgments for the confidence which you have so kindly reposed in me, and to assure you that the liveliest emotions of gratitude and affection will excite my utmost exertions for the welfare and happiness of this kingdom."
After which the Lord Chancellor, by his Excellency's command, said,
"My Lords and Gentlemen,"
"It is his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant's pleasure, that this Parliament be prorogued to Tuesday the 17th day of June next, to be then here held; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday the 17th day of June next."
— MAY 3. —
Yesterday's Privy Council at the Castle, was attended by a more numerous assembly of members, than has been known for many years.
Owing to some reports this day circulated, and intelligence received by private letters, that the Emperor of Morocco had declared war against Great Britain—Insurances were refused by our underwriters on any terms, to and from Leghorn and Cadiz.
The King's letters recommended last month by our Privy Council, which were expected over this week, we hear, are unavoidably postponed for another fortnight, on account of the opening of the budget in Westminster-hall.
We are informed that the last dispatches arrived at the Castle from Lord Sydney's office, bring advice that his Majesty's Ministers have not thought it expedient to make the talked of removal in the Admiralty department.
B O S T O N, June 13.
A gentleman of this town, in a letter to his friend in New-York, writes thus: "The prospects we have in bringing the manufacture of WINDOW GLASS to great perfection in this State, are evident to every one who wishes to promote so useful an undertaking. The gentlemen who are concerned in this useful business, are men of much wealth, and highly spirited in their undertakings, and have no doubt but they can make glass of equal quality with any imported from Europe, and much cheaper. The wood in this State is large, and very plenty; the materials for the glass are also plenty, and can be had on reasonable terms. They have a capital of 14,000l. and will increase it to 20,000l. Their manufacturing house is built of stone, is four stories high, and wide enough to admit of any length. Mr. Robert Hughes, of Boston, is chief artist, and superintends the works. His abilities are not confined to the glass manufactures alone—he is master of others equally as useful, and which will also meet with proper encouragement in due time, to the great honor of those gentlemen who are his present benefactors."
With pleasure we inform the lovers and patriots of our "dear country," that the manufacture of
Glass will soon be established in this town, in a degree equal to the manufactures of the old country: We have authority to assert that a specimen of a glass TUMBLER (manufactured here) has been exhibited to the view of some gentlemen of this town, who have pronounced it of a quality equally good and as beautifully transparent as any ever imported from England.
It is but justice to be inexorably severe towards the eminently guilty—we will, therefore, continue to delineate the characters of such with the point of the diamond—and thus blazoned in the face of the day, the abhorrence and execrations of mankind will consign them to infamous immortality:—
Therefore—Citizens of America, KNOW YE, That a certain J. L. a placeman, pensioner, and noted ant federalist, in the city of New-York, flim-flammed with a prospect of gain, and a lust of power, hath lately had the audacity to transmit to the Governor of a little State, and some others, a large and fresh packet of pamphlets against the proposed Constitution of the United States, accompanied with anonymous letters, insidiously calculated to excite jealousies, to disturb the peace of the union, and subvert the rising FABRICK of order, justice and liberty.
NEW-YORK, June 21.
Extract of a letter, by last post, from a Gentleman in Virginia to a respectable character in this city, dated June 13.
"The Convention of our State being now sitting, and as on their determination the ultimate fate of the proposed Constitution may be said, in a great measure, to depend; to judge of the feelings of the friends to it in the distant parts of the Union by our own, when the same question was under discussion in the other States, we may conclude they are at this time under the greatest anxiety which suspense can give rise to. Desirous of removing all doubts and apprehensions, and at the same time of guarding against the machinations of the faction opposed to the measure, which is ever active, and no way scrupulous about the means to attain their end, the principal characters of this place have requested me to forward a genuine state of the business, as it stands by the latest intelligence handed to us, and which comes from gentlemen of the most distinguished probity, and may be fully relied on."
"At an early period after the meeting, Governor Randolph, altho' he refused to subscribe to the Constitution as a member of the Grand Convention, did, in the most explicit terms, declare himself for the adoption of it without any condition or amendment. The Delegates from the district of Kentucky, consisting of seven counties, appeared at the first of the meeting to be generally averse to the Constitution; they are now greatly divided, and it is expected that a great majority from that quarter will be in favor of it; however, be that as it may, by the latest accounts there appears to be a majority in favor of the Constitution, of at least twenty members. Could there be any doubt of the truth of this fact, when we have from gentlemen of acknowledged honor, and who would not condescend to propagate an untruth, tho' certain thereby to attain the end at which they aim, the conduct of the opposition itself gives a degree of credit to the information, which must remove every suspicion of the truth of it.—Upon the motion of the members in the opposition, the Constitution is to be debated by paragraphs before any question is put upon any part; and as the rejection is what the opposition aims at, if the majority had been on their side, it is hardly to be presumed that the small number of men of abilities they have to support them, would have subjected themselves to such a share of fatigue and trouble, as a full investigation of the business must bring upon them; when they might have avoided it by making general observations upon it, and then calling for the question. Another fact which proves that the opposition consider themselves as weakest in point of members is, that some on that side have already dropped hints of proposing an adjournment, until the result of the other Conventions, which are shortly to meet, can be known; if the majority lay with the opposition, would they neglect the opportunity of deciding the question immediately—when by so doing they have so fair a prospect of procuring determinations in the other Conventions favorable to their wishes? They also regret much that the weight of abilities and fair character lay on the side of the Constitution."

The Berlin press is now busy with the works of the late King of Prussia. Surely the following quotation from that Monarch's Memoirs of the House of Brandenburg cannot fail to be pleasing:
"I have in this work, disguised nothing; I have concealed nothing; I have represented Princes as they were; the same pencil that drew the civil and military virtues of the Great Elector, likewise touched the failings of the First King of Prussia. I have surmounted all prejudices; I have looked upon Princes as mere men. Far from idolizing my ancestors, I have boldly blamed vice in them, because it ought never to find an asylum on the throne. I have praised virtue wherever I found it, guarding at the same time against the enthusiasm it inspires, to the end that pure and simple truth might reign throughout this history."
The best and most recent authorities give the following as the statement of the revenues, and of the forces by sea and land, of Russia, Austria, and Turkey:
  Revenue Russia — 5,800,000 Sterl.   Austria — 12,400,000   Turkey — 5,000,000   Land forces Russia — 290,000 Men.   Austria — 282,000   Turkey — 300,000   Naval force Russia — 63 Ships of war.   Austria — 0   Turkey — 60 
Of the 63 armed ships belonging to Russia, 24 are of the line.
In the year 1736, the Turks had actually 30 ships of the line, of 800 men each, and 40 galleys of 140 men each; and this number was intended to be encreased. In any extraordinary exigency, they are able to fit out
  40 ships of 800 men each.   40 galleys — 140   20 caravellas — 300   100 galliots — 60 
Tot. 200 vessels of war, & 50,000 sea troops.
The States under the protection of the Grand Signor, viz. Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, are obliged to furnish ten ships of the line for the service of the Porte.

For all the American News-Papers.
THE progress of the HESSIAN FLY has become a very alarming matter to the middle States. It appears highly probable, that the eggs of this destroying insect are laid in the grains of ripe wheat, and sowed with them. The following method of avoiding them is therefore earnestly recommended to all who are concerned.
1st. Let every farmer carefully avoid sowing any grain raised on farms, or in neighborhoods, where the HESSIAN FLY has appeared.
2dly. Let every farmer in and near such places be careful to sell his whole crop to millers or others, who will promise not to tell any of it for seed, that the fly may not be propagated.
3dly. Let the farmers procure their seed from places that are certainly not infected with the HESSIAN FLY.
4thly. When the millers get parcels of good grain from distant places, which they believe are quite free from the fly, let them take pains to inform the farmers, that they may be easily supplied with seed, which contains none of the eggs of these insects. The millers will do well to be particularly attentive to this early matter, as all their business depends on a plentiful supply of good grain for their mills. A LANDHOLDER.

1st. To provide a set of sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office , No. 21, Wall-Street, to see the business performed.
2d. To allow each a proper district, in such manner, that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney.
3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house.
4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them.
The under taking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply.
