H A G U E, August 3. Letters from Berlin, announce that the reigning Duke of Brunswick, has accepted the command of the army, which his Prussian Majesty has ordered to be assembled in the Country of Cleves.
The Count de Finkenstien, Minister of the Cabinet, the Prince Roipiglioff, who has been 10 days here, and M. de Hasfeld, a General in the service of the Elector of Mayence, set out to attend the King at Potsdam. The Counsellor Sonnenfeldt, arrived here a few days ago, from Vienna.
Letters from Brunswick mention, that the Prussian hussars had marched past that place, on their way to Cleves, and were followed by fifty horses of the stables of his Royal Highness.
We learn from Leige, that the camp which was said to be formed at Givet, of a body of French troops, is countermanded. This intelligence is doubted by some people.
Berlin, July 21. Since my last, affairs have changed here. After the arrival of many couriers and Emissaries, a council of war was held last Tuesday, on the issue of which orders were sent to the different regiments of infantry and cavalry in the Provinces to prepare for marching on the first notice since; when many movements have been made here relative to their general departure on the 8th of August. The regiment of Ebers Hussars, has received orders to march by the first of August. And a large convoy of artillery is already sent to Magdebourg.
Du Comte de la Marck, 27th July. It is very certain that between 50 and 60,000 Prussian troops are under orders for marching, to be commanded by the Duke of Brunswick. The regiments in Westphalia, which formed a body of 18,000 men are commanded by Gen. Gaudi. The cavalry and infantry intended to relieve Holland, are all in motion. A heavy train has been sent from Magdebourg.
Utrecht, Aug. 1. One hundred men of the regiment of Sulliard, having deserted from Guelphs, are come hither on their way to Holland; and a great number of other deserters daily arrive from the camp of Zeylt, Frisland, and Guelphs; they are going to Overysel, where the Chevalier Ternan, commands the little Provincial Army, destined to curb the Aristocrats of Guelphs. Another platoon of Sulliards regiment are arrived at Woerden, with their Captain. There has not been any other Soobie, since that towards Scyost-day.
We learn from Williamstadt, that the Colonel of the second regiment of Waldeck, has acquainted the States of Holland, that all the soldiers of the first battalion have deserted: but that the officers remained firm. The soldiers after committing the greatest excesses, tore the Colours: Williamstadt, is one of the places of the Generality; and we shall see, whether the Captain-General, or Council of State, will punish these rebels; but as they augment the army at Zeist, there is no probability of his doing it.
Amsterdam, July 31. The Beurtman of Harderwyk has brought the disagreeable news, that the military have plundered twenty-nine patriot's houses at that place, and killed several who refused to surrender or declare for the Prince of Orange; and that when he left the place, it appeared the whole town would be destroyed.
The States of Holland have resolved to send word to General Van Ryssel, that if any of the officers or soldiers under his command, were proceeded against, in consequence of the surreptitious resolutions of the States General of the 26th, that he would immediately transmit an account thereof to their Noble Mightinesses, for their immediate consideration; at the same time declaring that they would take any, and all such officers under their special protection, and defend them in every respect against the unconstitutional Resolution of their High Mightinesses aforesaid.
L O N D O N, July 21—28. In a print of yesterday it is stated, that Mr. Pitt strenuously opposes every idea of a war. If this be a fact, it proves him to be, what all good men think him, the sincere friend of his country.
Just recovering from the distresses caused by the last war, to be involved in another would be a calamity too grievous to be endured. The reviving commerce and credit of the nation would be instantly sacrificed, and the people would inevitably sink under the public burthens necessary to be imposed.
An eminent wine-merchant in this city was long afflicted by an asthma, which was brought on by a violent cough. He applied to different gentlemen of the faculty, who prescribed many recipes, which he took, but found not the least benefit from any of them. After passing some years in this melancholy situation, and expending much money, he was advised by an old woman in the country to smoke colts foot, mixed with a little grass-cur. Though his faith in her prescription was not great, he determined to make trial of it: he accordingly smoked morning and evening, about two pipes, and in a very few days perceived in himself a great change for the better.
Governor Donnelland, who died at his lodgings in River's-street a few days ago, was a gallant veteran officer, who distinguished himself in two Continental wars. He was at the battle of Fontenoy, and the only officer who escaped with life in the division which he belonged to; and though wounded in ten different parts of his body, he gallantly brought off the colours of the corps, which were almost shot to rags.
A gentleman on his travels writes thus from Naples to his friend in London:—"I never had a good opinion of the English practice of boxing till I came to Italy, but I now found it is a laudable and innocent fashion; for men must have some kind of vent for their indignation, some five for their honour; and it is happy when the
worst thing a man does in his wrath is the giving a slap on the face, or a punch in the stomach, to the offending party. Here angry men immediately have recourse to the knife, and stab in an instant. It is amazing how many assassinations there are in Italy, and how little they are noticed, and almost all of them, the effects of quarrels. Now none of those assassinations would take place, were the good English mode of boxing introduced amongst them. The late Monsieur de Voltaire vindicated the English nation in this particular, and has often declared that they shewed a species of honour not known in any other part of the world; for, says this eminent French writer, if two fellows meet in the streets of London, and in consequence of a quarrel one throws the other down, will not the conqueror suffer him to rise, and come to a second attack, scorning to take any base advantage of him? and if any unfair cruelty was attempted by a successful adversary, the spectators would fly to the relief of the distressed combatant, and place him on his legs again."
Extract of a letter from Bengal. "Shahrokh Mirza, the son of the famous conqueror, Nadir Shah, who, in the beginning of this century, extended his conquest to the centre of Hindostan, was succeeded by his eldest son, who now sits on the Muinud: and who, in conformity to the inhuman policy which prevails in the East, upon his accession to the throne, confined his youngest brother in the city of Mullahad al Mucedus. The young Prince has, however, found means to escape from his confinement; and, resorting to Cabul, has applied for a reinforcement of troops, and a supply of money from Timur, who has promised to supply him with both, in a manner sufficiently ample for him to take the field against his brother."
"These countries, exhausted by long wars and depopulated by a recent famine, are still, however, incapable of furnishing the troops necessary to carry on the ambitious schemes of their possessor; which sometimes prompt him to invade Hindostan; sometimes incline him to support the claims of the young Persian Prince; and frequently suggests the necessity of leading an army, to establish himself firmly in the countries he has newly conquered, and to reduce malcontents in the province of Multan. These extensive projects, according ill with Timur's scanty forces, are the secret causes of that indecision and inactivity, which has lately characterised the political conduct of the Abdallick Chief."
"Appa Belwant Row is a person of considerable distinction at the Court of Poona, whose two sons fell in the last attack made by Tippoo on the Mahratta army. The unhappy father, upon receiving intelligence of their melancholy catastrophe, seized a knife, which lay near him, and plunged it into his side before he could be prevented. However, the wound proves not to be desperate, and the proper remedies being instantaneously applied, his recovery is still hoped for."
"No adequate idea can be formed of the chaos of jarring interests, intestine divisions, and family broils which prevail in the province of Lahore; the inhabitants of which, driven from one place to another, can only find a temporary shelter in the last till the petty chief who governs it becomes sufficiently powerful to extirpate them."
Extract of a letter from Dublin, July 20. "Friday last, a set of Epicurean Virtuosos dined on one of the largest salmons that has appeared for many years, in this or any other kingdom. It weighed fifty two pounds, was roasted whole with three dozen of whittings and six large mackerel in the belly."
AUGUST 7. The Dutch Mail, which arrived yesterday, brought no newspapers from Utrecht. The article from Utrecht, that is in the mail, is copied from a Leyden paper. This circumstance, occasions a suspicion, that the siege of Utrecht has commenced; or at least, that the Prince of Orange's army have cut off the communication between Utrecht and Holland.
In reasoning from past to present events, the analogy often determines the truth of prophecy. The French Court now affect to have countermanded their former orders for a Camp at Givet, in Flanders. These assurances are perfectly similar to those they made to Lord Stormont, Mr. Forth, &c. at the beginning of the late American war: although at the same time, France was privately supporting the Americans with money and officers. Precisely the same thing she is now doing, with respect to the disputes in Holland. She furnishes the Dutch with money to pay their army, and she furnishes them with officers. In the Dutch accounts of the skirmish near Utrecht, there are two French officers killed. So early as when the American army besieged General Gage, in Boston, there were French officers in the American Camp: at the same time, France was assuring us of her pacific disposition: and our King reported these assurances to both Houses of Parliament. The analogy is obvious. These pretended assurances are only made to dupe us.
Dr. Falconer says that tea is very pernicious to the Constitution. The Dr. is right, for it has proved highly so to the Constitution of England, and seems now to be making as great depredations on other Countries as it has done on this. The pernicious Effects of that Weed is now operating in a violent degree in the Netherlands and in Holland, and though they have endeavoured to mitigate its baleful influence, by mixing a little Orange Juice with it, it is doubtful whether Acid may be capable of correcting its corroding Qualities. The Tea-Kettle, which boiled over on the other Side of the Atlantic Ocean, seems to have scalded the nations on this.
The States of Holland in consequence of the resolutions taken by the States General to punish all officers and others, who obeyed the orders of Holland, have come to a resolution, which they
have signified to the Advocate Fiscal (Attorney-General,) that if he, or any other person whatever pays the least regard to, or attempts to inforce the said resolution of their High Mightinesses, they will punish him or them with all possible rigour.
A Dutch civil war will make a greater revolution in trade than any other war in Europe. A war between two nations may in divers instances be beneficial to the individuals of both of them, by captures, &c. but in a civil war, the very source of trade is entirely stopped up, and the industry of the people utterly annihilated.
An Ordinance was issued at Bruxelles last week, in the name of the Emperor, forbidding all persons whatever, publishing, either by printing, writing, or speaking, any matter, tending to hinder the re-establishment of peace in the Emperor's dominions, under the penalty of 500 florins.
Extract of a letter from Leghorn, July 4. "The plague still continues to rage on every part of the coast of Barbary, so that all communication from hence is stopped; and two armed vessels are stationed to cruise at the mouth of our port, to prevent any vessels from those parts coming into this harbour."
"The Algerines have broke the peace with Spain, for they plunder every Spanish ship they meet with.—We have just received advice from Tangiers, that the plague has carried off all the Emperor of Morocco's attendants, and that he is obliged to shut himself up in his palace, to escape the disorder."
Extract of a letter from the Hague, August 2. "Baron de Thulemeyer has had a conference with the Counsellor Pensioner to inform him, "That the King of Prussia was by no means satisfied with the answer of the States of Holland; and, that his Majesty still insists on "having such satisfaction as he before demanded."
"The Deputies of the States of Zealand and Friesland, have delivered to their High Mightinesses a resolution of their respective Provinces, declaring against the mediation of the Court of France."
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) August 25.
The sloop Porgay, Basset, from Charleston, since her arrival in this harbour, has, we hear, been seized by a custom-house officer, on account of a quantity of gin being found on board, and imported contrary to law. Pity it is, that the officer did not meet with the fate of his brother in London, as mentioned in our last paper, who made an attempt with great avidity on the seizure of Cowhage!
September 1. The following is an instance of Divine Providence, manifested in the preservation of two unfortunate persons who were driven off the island of Grenada on the 6th of last month:—Mr. Elias Balkman, who kept a trading canoe at that island, having been conveying a cargo from Guava to St. George's Bay, about 16 miles, assisted with one negro, was quickly after leaving St. George's Key, on his return, attacked by a sudden squall of wind, and driven entirely out to sea; having only a quart of pease, and a pound and a half of salt beef on board, and no water but what was scantily supplied them by the Heavens! when that failed them, they were compelled to drink their own urine. They had but one sail, which together with the rudder was lost in the same gale of wind, which continued for four days without intermission: During this period they also lost the only instrument of guidance left them, their paddle. They then consigned themselves to the mercy of the waves, and abandoned every hope of safety. Land never appeared to them, until they arrived off a place near Old Harbour in this island, where they landed on Saturday the 25th ult. having been at sea in that deplorable situation 19 days; and had not Providence provided them with a few flying fish, and a couple of birds which flew on board the canoe, they must have inevitably perished for want. On their arrival at the above place, they were scarce able to stand, and exhibited an appearance truly ghastly and distressful. A fisherman residing there, to the honor of humanity and feelings, lent every assistance in his power to those two poor starving wretches to get them on shore, and afterwards exerted himself to the utmost to provide for them such necessaries of comfort and other accommodations as they must naturally stand in need of. Those two miserable people, thus preserved by the finger of Providence, are in this town, in a state very feeble and emaciated, and so violently excoriated, by the torrefaction of the sun, that the skin of their hands and faces is entirely peeling off. Mr. Balkman is a cooper, possessing some property in Grenada, and the negro belongs to a Mr. Webster in that island.
We hear that the schooner La Prevedina, Capt. Francis Dolphin, in her way from Spanish St. Domingo bound to Philadelphia, encountered on the 27th ult. near the Silver Keys, otherwise called Cayes d'Argent, a severe gale of wind arising from N. N. E. It veered all round the compass, and lasted 40 hours. It terminated in a strong wind from E. N. E. There was a Dutch snow in company, which is supposed to be lost.
We are informed by an authority which may be depended upon, that a schooner commanded by Mr. Boureou, which arrived in this harbour on Thursday last from Porto Rico, bound for New-York, but obliged to put in here by stress of weather, which began on Sunday morning last, and continued for twenty-seven hours. It was one of the severest hurricanes that has been known for some time. The above vessel received considerable damage, and cannot proceed until properly repaired. The Windward Islands have in general suffered greatly.
New-York, October 10.
Nothing, says a correspondent, proves the decline of our European trade in American bottoms more incontestibly than the amazing increase of our domestic and coasting trade. Twenty years ago one vessel only (a brig) was established in the trade from Philadelphia to Charleston, at present there are six or seven: At the same time a sloop of 50 tons answered the purpose from New-York, there are now three or four from that port. Exports from the middle colonies would always before the revolution pay a good freight to Rhode-Island, Massachusetts, &c. At present those branches of business are overdone by a superfluity of hands. The West India islands are equally glutted with the produce of our continent, and the American shippers and importers for the most part live by the loss. What does all this prove, but that we ought to give up the idea of a very extensive marine trade, employ ourselves in agriculture and manufactures, and, if possible, be happy at home.
On Friday last, Congress appointed his Excellency ARTHUR ST. CLAIR, Esq. now President of Congress, to be Governor of the Western Territory of the United States, with a salary of one thousand dollars per annum, and to exercise the office of superintendent of Indian Affairs, and to receive the pay and emoluments of the same, amounting to about eight hundred dollars per annum.
They have also appointed Winthrop Seargeant Esq. to be Secretary to the Governor, with a salary of seven hundred and fifty dollars per annum.
From the Pennsylvania Packet. Messrs. PRINTERS. WHAT has been, will be, while men continue to be men, and there is nothing new under the sun. Some people seem alarmed at the opposition of a few weak and deluded men to the Federal Government; but if we look into the histories of our own and foreign countries, we shall find that there never was a revolution brought about in any country in favor of liberty or government, that was not opposed by ignorant or interested men.
The revolution that brought King William to the throne of England was effected by a majority of only three votes.
Thousands opposed the accession of the Hanover family to the same throne some years afterwards. In 1715 and 1745 attempts were made to depose them, by an appeal to arms, which ended in the destruction of the leaders of the minority, and in the defeat of those brave and barly mountaineers, who were seduced by those leaders into a rebellion, against the voice and interests of a majority of the people.
The union of the parliaments of England and Scotland was opposed by a strong majority of Scotland: recourse was had to arms by a few deluded men in the west of Scotland to prevent it. But they were soon prevailed upon to return in peace to their habitations, and in a few years afterwards joined with the majority of the nation, in praising the happy effects of the union.
The declaration of independence was opposed by a wealthy and powerful party, a whole state, and many counties in every state refused to concur in supporting it: and yet the independence of our country finally triumphed over all opposition.
I shall conclude, by repeating my first observation.—What has been, will be, and there is nothing new under the sun. The present enemies of the federal government will ere long be its most zealous friends, and some of them, who are most prudent and silent about it or most clamorous against it, will probably soon fill its highest or most profitable offices.
MATTERS OF FACT.
From the London Morning Chronicle. To the MARQUIS OF CARMARTHEN. LETTER II. On the DUTCH.
My Lord Marquis! All Europe must commend the French for the part they act, which is a very wise one. With great propriety they offer their powerful mediation, supporting, by arguments founded on reason and justice, the right of the creative power. Should that mediation fail, either through the obstinacy of the Captain-General, or the impolicy of his brother-in law, then France, as an Ally of the Republick, will come to their assistance whenever they are threatened with foreign invasion.
My Lord, nothing can be fairer although the event is big with the most flattering consequences to the French, for which the English may thank themselves, since the loss of our old Allies and the great weight thrown into the scale of France was occasioned by our folly and injustice in regard to the Dutch nation.
It is, my Lord Marquis, pretended by some men, who are not very wise, that their present difficulties are the merited unhappy consequences of their treacherous to the English, but I say they are occasioned by our great folly and great injustice to that nation which had certainly the clearest right to consult their own interest, as a commercial people, and not to be governed by the mad and ruinous politticks which then directed this nation and distracted America.
Our conduct was then far from being so honourable as that of the French is at present. The business of St. Eustatius was, in my opinion, little short of a national robbery that would have disgraced the States of Barbary. The Dutch resented the plundering system of the English which they will never forgive, and wisely (as any other nation would have done, under the same circumstances) declined being any longer in alliance with a country capable of plundering them, and as wisely resented the conduct of the Captain General.

General, who against the interest of his employers, supported the measures of the nation that so harshly used them. Hence the cause of disgust and the resentment against the Stadholder! And as that cause is unparadisable, from the loss it has occasioned to the Dutch, it is unreasonable to suppose they will any longer continue such an authority against their inclinations and interests and against the policy of their new and great Ally the King of France, who will never be able to enjoy the happy effects of the Dutch alliance, while the power of the Stadholder exists friendly to the interest of Great Britain.
From what I have observed I think it manifestly appears that there is great reason and justice on the side of the creative power of the Republic, and very little to be said in favour of the Stadholder, who seems to have acted a wrong part in regard to the Republic and an impolitic one with respect to himself. His deluded partizans, therefore, who take up arms and plunge them in the bowels of their country to support the cause of the Captain General, will be in open rebellion against the State. It was folly in the Princess of Orange, under such circumstances, to venture to the Hague, and it was quite as weak in the Republic not to detain her and her children as hostages for the conduct of the Stadholder and his brother-in-law.
The situation of the English in the present case is delicate and requires all the penetration, sagacity and publick virtue of our present upright and able Ministers. Mr. Pitt cannot be sufficiently admired, under the circumstances of this nation, for cherishing the blessings of peace, which are so necessary to a great manufacturing and trading State groaning under the burthen of her taxes and incumbrances. But, although this strong friend to industry, to commerce and revenue knows the blessings of general tranquility, he will, with the sagacity and spirit of an able British Minister, prepare for the misfortune of war, when, from the situation of Europe, it cannot be avoided.
How far that is the case at present must be respectfully submitted to the consideration of his Majesty's Privy Council, who consist of some of the brightest and most patriotick men in the nation. My humble opinion is, that the Dutch are engaged in a good and necessary cause, and that they cannot, consistent, with either their interest or dignity, accede to any terms that shall continue their Captain-General in their service, that is the power of the Stadholder, which they have a right to abolish; that the French are equally justifiable as mediators in the first instance and as allies in the second. That the King of P—— has no right to interfere in the domestick affairs of the Dutch and to force upon them an officer of high rank, that they do not any longer choose to employ, especially as it should be remembered that the Stadholder is no part of the Dutch constitution, being a delegated power removable at pleasure, as much as the Duke of Brunswick when in their service. Neither have the Emperor and the King of Great Britain any right to such interference. The only justifiable right of these two powers is to interpose whenever the conduct of France and Prussia shall render it necessary to preserve the balance of power in Europe. Until then, the English may view the storm at a distance. The struggler is unnatural between the creative power of the Republic and the delegated authority of the Stadholder: but unhappy as the case is, it will not concern Great Britain until foreign interposition destroys the balance of power, and throws such a weight of influence into the scale of France, as shall endanger the commercial and political interests, of which we shall undoubtedly have timely notice from our attentive and able Minister at the Helm.

A LAPLAND SONG.
THE snows are dissolving on Torne's rude side, And the ice of Lulbea flows down the dark tide!
Remote, the keen terrors of winter retire. Where the North's dancing streamers relinquish their fire;
The rein-deer, unharnessed, in freedom shall play, And safely o'er Oden's steep precipice stray;
Then haste, my fair Lulbea! ah! haste to the grove! And pass the sweet season in rapture and love;

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; flats and scows, carrying 10 or 12 tons, load and unload at the Works. The usual Freight to New-York or Philadelphia 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 increasing in strength many years, by the cinder from the furnace, is well secured from the danger of tresspass, 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, Cornell, Shorts and Bran, at advanced prices; and the convenience of conveying Flour, at a light expence, either to New-York or Philadelphia, or to more distant 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 superfine 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 convenience 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 peculiarly 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 discontinued 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 proper spot for Grist-Mills, may be appropriated 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, workshops, storehouses and dwellings for workmen. Adjoining the mansion house is a large and fruitful garden, affording plenty of vegetables, and will store with chosen fruit trees also a young bearing orchard, containing near 2000 apple trees, mostly grafted.
These excellent accommodations for extensive and profitable manufactories, are offered to sale at a very low rate and on terms of payment calculated for the ease of the purchaser, who may pay the greater part in the produce of the Iron Works at a price to be agreed upon; and they are capable of producing more in one year, than will pay the whole price demanded.
For particulars, apply to WILLIAM RICHARDS, at the said Works, JOHN COX, at Bloombury, near Trenton, CHARLES PETTIT, in Philadelphia, or WM. LAIGHT, and Co. in New-York. 95 t.f.
