To be Sold Cheap at private Sale, THE place which William P.

The whole of the place contains about four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land; the Land has been well manured with ashes; the whole of the Land included with a new substantial Fence.

V I E N N A, October 24.
Every daily occurrence seems to prove that the Emperor persists in the design of making war against the Turks, and we are assured, that proofs of it will soon appear. Mr. Deus, General of Slavonia, a man of great merit and capacity in his profession, has proposed to the Emperor to make himself master of Bosnia, promising, if his Majesty would consent to it, to conquer it before the end of November: we know not yet how the Emperor approves of this project; but we learn that the army on the frontiers of Turkey has made some motions, which seems as if they were going to put it in execution. But on this subject opinions differ; for others pretend, that if any stroke is made this winter it will be the attack of Belgrade. In the interim, all the Generals chosen to command the army in Hungary last Sunday received orders from the Council of War to repair within six days time to their respective posts: they are already all gone except two, who will set off next Monday. This order is said to be occasioned by the dispatches received by the Court last Saturday from Constantinople. Those who are to compose the campaign chancery of this army are likewise all named, and they have established a daily post for communication. The troops which compose this army are augmented by the arrival of fresh corps. The fine regiment of cavalry of General Hottitz and three battalions of infantry have lately received orders to prepare to join them.
The arrival of the courier from Constantinople, whom we have before mentioned, has given rise to the following report: that the Porte, notwithstanding the effects which may result from it, is resolved not to confine the Internuncio of this Court in the castle of the Seven Towers; in consequence of which that Minister had quitted that place to come here.
Oct. 28. All the Generals having set off from hence to join the army at Peterwaradin, they only wait for his Majesty, who will set out in the course of next week, when the troops will march in ten different columns towards Belgrade. If the season permit, the corps of pioneers will at the same time go down the Danube, and throw a bridge over that river opposite Parsowa, and another at Szeza, over the Sawa, as a passage for the army destined to besiege Belgrade. We are informed for certain, that that fortress, formerly so famous, is now in a very ruinous condition, and in want of the principal things to hold out a siege; so we hope the good weather will continue, that we may see the Austrian flag flying from the ramparts of Belgrade. Good news should be made of the present time, as the general circumstances of Europe were never so favorable for the House of Austria to conquer the Turks as now.

Nov 23. The Duke of York was last night initiated in the mysteries of Masonry, at the Free-Mason's Lodge at Hunt's, the Star and Garter, Pall Mall. His Highness was introduced by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cumberland.
A correspondent informs us, that Mr. Fitzherbert is appointed Secretary to the Marquis of Buckingham, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; the reason of its not being known sooner, was owing to his indifferent state of health; though he has been at Bath some time, he is returned not much better. He is the same Fitzherbert who was some time in Russia.
The Court of France have become mediators between the Ottoman Porte and Russia, and have invited our Court to join them therein.
All the accounts received yesterday from the Continent evince it to be an absolute certainty, that the Emperor means to support Russia with all his might in her present conflict with the Porte. For this purpose, we learn from Wallachia, that the Austrian Consul, resident at Bucharest, had written to his Vice Consul at Jassy, to be ready to depart from thence at a minute's notice. On a similar principle, and from similar motives, the Imperial Consul at Smyrna has received orders to dispatch immediately from that port all the Austrian vessels that may happen to be there, whether loaded or unloading. All the women and children have, by the ruthless mandate of Joseph, been ordered from Semlin. Unable to procure horses with so much expedition as he wished or expected, he has seized all the most valuable ones belonging to the people of Vienna. He has laid an embargo upon a number of vessels loaded with grain at Presbourg, and ordered all such grain to be lodged in the Imperial magazines, for the use of the army.
A letter from Portarlington, in Ireland, dated Nov. 24. says, "I was yesterday a spectator of one of the most melancholy and distressing scenes I have ever beheld, occasioned by the present floods, which I suppose have done equal, if not superior damage through many parts of this kingdom."
Here the oldest inhabitant never remembers to have seen any thing in the least degree equal to what they experienced yesterday.
"On Sunday last it commenced with a violent and continued rain, which did not abate till the night following; at which time the water rose considerably, but nothing to alarm us. On Tuesday morning the 13th instant, the mountain floods came down with such astonishing rapidity, as to choke the great bridge, which divides the King and Queen's country in this town; before nine o'clock it effectually stopped all the arches, and ran with violence across the battlements for a considerable breadth; at that hour a servant belonging to Mr. William Montgomery, near Rathangan, rashly undertook to cross it with two horses and cars of his master; a butcher from Dublin unfortunately took advantage of the cars, and got on one of them; they had scarcely got two yards on the bridge, when they were all washed over by the flood; the poor cattle, from the incumbrance of the cars, could make no resistance, and instantly perished; nor did the efforts of the men avail any thing, for in a few minutes they shared the same unhappy fate. In the mean time the torrent, unable to remove the obstruction it met with (as our bridge is amazingly strong), recoiled with unspeakable fury, and overturning several great walls which opposed it, formed for itself a new and unthought of course, taking its destructive way immediately through the Red Lion Inn, and all the houses for above 120 yards, between that and the market place; so astonishingly rapid was its progress, that in a few minutes it flowed in at the windows of the ground floors, and threatened immediate destruction to the terrified inhabitants, many of whom fled naked through the streets. This was indeed a melancholy picture, and such a one as I shall ever remember with terror and pity. The fury of the waters increased every moment, sweeping with violence all before them, while the shrieks of the women and children from the windows of those houses which we imagined would tumble instantly, rendered the scene terribly affecting. We could procure no boat for their relief, but many horsemen ventured to catch them as they dropped from their windows: the aged and infirm suffered much, and indeed made a large number of those who were injured. Providentially no lives were lost here, but a vast deal of private property has suffered considerably; large quantities of turf, corn, hay, potatoes, and timber, were carried away, together with household furniture, &c."
"It fell as it rose rapidly, and yet at six o'clock yesterday evening, there was a current through the hall of the Red Lion Inn sufficient to turn the largest mill. This morning it has entirely abated, but things wear a melancholy appearance in those parts which suffered; many small houses thereabout are in ruins—the streets in many places plowed up for several yards together, and the floors still covered with water. The horses which were drowned were washed ashore, and boats were employed to drag the river for the men who were drowned."
"P. S. I must not omit mentioning, that the opulent inhabitants, as usual, were on this occasion humane and benevolent, rendering those who were injured every personal and domestic assistance they stood in need of."
Nov. 29. A letter from Lisbon has the following article: "We have just received advice, dated October 18, that two Barbary galleys chased an American vessel into Fouchie harbour, and would have cut her out had not the guns of that fortress fired upon them, which were so well pointed, that at the second discharge they sunk one; most of the crew were taken up by the other, who then sheered off; this event threw the inhabitants into great confusion; and to prevent a sudden attack from these barbarians, the guard has been doubled, and the inhabitants are under arms day and night."
The nature of the Hessian treaty is, that an annual allowance of 40,000l. shall be granted by Great-Britain to the Landgrave, in order that he may be prepared to supply a certain number of troops at a very short notice, whenever the situation of our public affairs shall require their assistance.
Extract of a letter from Paris, Nov. 9. "It is no longer the intention to send Commissioners to see England disarm, it being agreed to trust to each other's honor. It is thought that the national honor has been compromised, inasmuch as that has passed, respecting Holland; and their sensibility in this respect, is not a little increased, by an assurance, that the King, of his own motion, was the first who so expressed himself."
"That his Majesty also, it is said, was solely decided to succour Holland, and to arm in consequence; but that his Council, seeing that the succours were too late, employed the most pressing reasons to make him change his resolution. His Majesty acceded to this persuasion, rather than be the means of a general war. We are ignorant of the state of the negotiations, now carrying on in consequence of this event;
but it is supposed there is some question in favor of those whom this revolution has caused, in great numbers, to leave their country, or, who in other respects, have become unfortunate victims; but the nature of this interposition, as well as the issue, is equally uncertain."
Copy of a Letter from her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange, to the reigning Duke of Brunswick, dated November 3, 1787.
S I R, "The States of Holland having desired me to request the King my brother to permit 3000 or 4000 of his troops to remain some time in this province, I hasten to inform your Highness of this resolution of their Noble and Great Mightinesses, a Copy of which is annexed, beseeching your Highness to support this demand with your good offices: the signal marks of kindness and protection of his Majesty make me hope he will not refuse them."
"I leave it to your Highness's consideration, if, after the arrangement taken to disarm the unconstitutional citizens of Amsterdam, you may not regard the conditions of the satisfaction required by the King as entirely fulfilled, and withdraw the troops, except the number the States of Holland have demanded, which will be both a relief to this country, and to the troops themselves, on account of the bad season. Your Highness will at the same time permit me to intercede for the inhabitants of these provinces who are prisoners of war at Wezel: I request your Highness to release them, and flatter myself you will not disapprove the share I take in their unfortunate situation. When you was on the point of entering Holland at the head of the Prussian troops, you deigned to receive the instances I addressed to you in favor of this nation, whose welfare and interests in general are the object of my constant wishes: accept then at present the expressions of my gratitude, and those of this nation, who have daily discovered the eminent qualities which characterize your Highness. The remembrance of our obligations to you will always remain deeply engraven in our hearts, and we shall never forget that your Highness has not only gloriously fulfilled the object of your commission, but that the most happy revolution has likewise resulted from it, which has restored this country to its liberty and independence, by strengthening the Constitution, and re-establishing the Prince my consort in his just rights and privileges. I have the honor to remain, with sentiments of an inviolable attachment, and the most distinguished consideration,
(Signed) WILHELMINA." The following is the Answer of his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick to her Royal Highness, dated November 5, 1787.
"Madam, Your Royal Highness has notified to me the request which the States of Holland have made, at the same time desiring to obtain permission from the King for a body of 3000 or 4000 men to remain for some time in this Province."
"Persuaded as I am of the sincere desire the King has to oblige your Royal Highness, and to concur towards the welfare of the Republic and the Province of Holland, I think his Majesty will not refuse that request. I will immediately make my most humble report to the King of the contents of your letter of the third inst. and I think, by leaving a body of 4000 men in this Province until the arrival of his Majesty's orders, I shall only fulfil his desires. As the commission sent by his Highness the Prince of Orange to finish entirely the disarming of unconstitutional armed citizens, and the re-establishment of the Council of War, accomplished all the objects which remained of the satisfaction, I think of successively recalling the troops of the King, except those who at the request of the States shall remain, if his Majesty consents to it, for some time longer in this Province."
"What your Royal Highness deigns to mention concerning the inhabitants of this country kept prisoners of war at Wezel, is analogous with the generous sentiments you shewed at the entrance of the King's troops on the territory of this Republic, and I will certainly represent to the King the interest you take in the fate of these unfortunate men. I esteem myself too happy in having satisfied your Royal Highness in a commission which so nearly concerned the happiness of the Republic, and which could only succeed by the concurrence of the major part of the inhabitants, who endeavored to free themselves from a yoke which an oppressive cabal placed on them."
"Deign, Madam, to grant me a continuance of your good opinion, and to believe that nothing can exceed the profound respect, with which I am, Madam, your Royal Highness's, &c."
(Signed) CHARLES, G. F." The following is an extract Copy of the Resolutions mentioned in her Royal Highness's Letter:
"Their High Mightinesses, the Lords, States of Holland and West Friesland, after a mature deliberation on the proposition of
the Deputies of the city of Dordrecht, have thought proper, and resolved to charge M. de Wassenaar, Lord of Starckenbourg, and M. Alewyn, Counsellor of the City of Amsterdam, to solicit her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange, in the name of their Noble and Great Mightinesses, to endeavor by her good offices, to persuade his Majesty the King of Prussia, to consent to leave, provisionally, in this Province, 3000 or 4000 of his troops, which are in this country."
Extract of a Letter from Warsaw, Oct. 31. "According to letters from Podolia the Russian Troops in that province augment considerably. They are at present busy in providing a sufficient quantity of provisions and forage for their winter quarters, without being any expence to the inhabitants."
"We are assured that the army will consist of 60,000 regular troops, and of 8000 or 10,000 Cossacks at least. The army in the neighbourhood of Oczakow, which will be commanded by Prince Potemkin, amounts, they say, to 150,000 men."
"The Empress of Russia has given permission to Field-Marshal Romanzow to chuse the generals who are to serve under him. That officer is already at Bracklaw; and as every part of those countries is perfectly known both to him and Prince Galitzin, we hope the army will be placed in such a manner that we shall have nothing to fear on that side."
"Prince Potemkin has so well guarded the passes in the Crimea, that there is no fear on that head; and in a little time the Russian fleet, which is near that Peninsula, will not only be equal but superior to that of the Turks."
"In Little Russia and the Ukraine they are working with great activity in preparing an infinite quantity of furred coats for the troops, which we think presages a winter campaign."
"The grand army of the Turks approaches Choczim, and a small body is already arrived there, so that they have left only a strong garrison at Bender."
New-York, Feb. 18.
On Saturday last, a number of respectable Citizens, celebrated at the Merchants' Coffee-house, the RATIFICATION of the NEW CONSTITUTION, by the State of Massachusetts. Several of the Honorable Members of Congress and the Mayor of the City, did them the honor of partaking of their repast; which in (the true republican style) consisted of only two articles—Beef and Salt Fish. The general joy which was diffused over every countenance on this occasion, was a decisive proof, that the conduct of Massachusetts would ensure the Ratification of this excellent Constitution, not only in this, but every other State of the Union.
After dinner the following TOASTS were drank, under the fire of Six Guns to each Toast, in honor of those States which had adopted the Constitution.
 1st. The Constitution—may it prove the solid fabric of American Liberty, Prosperity and Glory.  2d. The Federal Convention—may their Virtue, Wisdom and Firmness, be deeply engraven on the hearts of their countrymen.  3d. The State of Delaware.  4th. The State of Pennsylvania.  5th. The State of New-Jersey.  6th. The State of Connecticut.  7th. The State of Georgia.  8th. The State of Massachusetts.  9th. May the Patriotic Declarations of the Minorities of Connecticut and Massachusetts, serve as an example throughout the Union.  10th. The Friends of the Constitution throughout the States.  11th. The State of New-York—may it soon become an additional Pillar to the new Roof.  12th. Union to the States, and confusion to the enemies of it.  13th. General Washington—may his Wisdom and Virtue preside in the Councils of his Country. 
The utmost order and good humour prevailed throughout the whole of the entertainment; and about nine o'clock in the evening, the company broke up, under the impression, that those who had been opposed to the New Constitution in this State, would be convinced (after the candid and able discussion of it by their eastern neighbours) that their jealousies were ill-founded; and that their own reputation, as well as the welfare of the State, would be best promoted, by imitating the Patriotic Conduct of the Minority of Massachusetts.
By a gentleman lately from London, we are informed, that LEWIS LITTLEPAGE, Esq. Chamberlain to his Majesty the King of Poland, is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary, from the Court of Warsaw, to that of Versailles.
On Saturday arrived the Schooner Grizee, from Edenton, North-Carolina.
The brig Brownlow, M c Meaken, for Dublin, and the Hector, Baker, for Port-au-Prince, cleared out at the Custom-House on Friday.

Mr. CHILDS,
IN your paper of yesterday, it appears that Blair M'Clenachan has entered bail to my attachment against his property; the author of the piece mentions me as a pretended creditor; my demand is JUST, and such as will fully appear upon INVESTIGATION, and I am at all times ready for trial, unconnected with party or colleague: Now it may not be amiss to mention, that although the act for relief against absconding and absent debtors, requires proof to be made of only 40l. and upwards being due; my claim is upwards of 800l. specie, and in pursuance of my late attachment, I have brought Blair M'Clenachan from Pennsylvania, so far as has enabled me to institute an action against and hold him to bail here, therefore the suit is still going forward against him; which he could repeatedly have prevented by coming to a fair settlement, being frequently solicited by letter for that purpose, ever since the 30th day of June, 1786. The letters he never answered, but of late returned them unopened. Now I leave the public to decide on the recitude of my proceedings. It appears they were far from being desirable on my part; but time and circumstances rendered them unavoidable; and as the only method I had of obtaining redress, without being under the necessity of making a journey to Pennsylvania. The pretended Friend and Colleague of Blair M'Clenachan, is William Neilson, who, in mentioning in his piece of the 11th current, the word pretended , has wantonly strayed from the truth, as usual.

A Friend of Mr. M'Clenachan requests you to insert the following order of Judge Hobart in the Daily Advertiser. It will thereby appear, that Archibald Blair was the cause of the late advertisement; and that Mr. M'Clenachan, the moment he could have notice of this proceeding, gave bail to abide the event of any suit which this pretended creditor may think proper to bring against him in any Court of this State.
By the Honorable JOHN SLOSS HOBART, Esquire, one of the (L.S.) Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New-York.
To the Sheriff of the City and County of New-York, Greeting.
WHEREAS Archibald Blair, of the city of New-York, merchant, lately, to wit, on the twenty-fifth day of January last past, made oath before me, the said John Sloss Hobart, that Blair M'Clenachan, late of the city of Philadelphia, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but at present residing at or near Germantown, in the said Commonwealth, merchant, was indebted unto him, the said Archibald Blair, in the sum of forty pounds current money of the said State and upwards, and did, at the same time, make proof, to my satisfaction, by the oaths of two witnesses, that the said Blair M'Clenachan did reside out of this State: And whereas I did thereupon, and by virtue of the powers given me by an Act of the Legislature of this State, entitled, "An act for relief against absconding and absent debtors," passed the 4th day of April, 1786, issue my warrant of attachment to you the said Sheriff, and did thereby command you to attach, seize, take and safely keep all the estate, as well real as personal, of the said Blair M'Clenachan, in whatever part of your bailiwick they might be found, with all evidences, books of account, vouchers, and papers, relating thereto: And whereas since the issuing of the attachment aforesaid, and before the appointment of Trustees in the manner in the said act prescribed, the said Blair M'Clenachan hath applied to me and given such security as I have directed and approved of to the said Archibald Blair, at whose instance the said warrant issued, to appear and plead to any suit or action to be brought by the said Archibald Blair, against the said Blair M'Clenachan, in any Court of Law or Equity in this State within six months from the date hereof, and to pay all such sums as may be adjudged or decreed in any such suit or action, whereby the said Blair M'Clenachan hath become entitled to a superedeas to the warrant of attachment aforesaid.
Now therefore I command you, the said Sheriff, that you do totally & forthwith desist from attaching, seizing, taking or keeping, all or any part of the real or personal estate of the said Blair M'Clenachan, or all or any of the evidences, books of account, vouchers, and papers, relating thereto by reason of the warrant of attachment aforesaid; and if you have already attached, seized, or taken any of the real or personal estate of the said Blair M'Clenachan, or any of the evidences, books of account, vouchers, or papers thereunto belonging, by occasion of the warrant of attachment aforesaid, and not otherwise; then I do further command you, that you do forthwith deliver the same to the said Blair M'Clenachan at your peril, my warrant of attachment to you directed as aforesaid, notwithstanding. And for your so doing, these presents and the act aforesaid, shall be unto you a sufficient authority.
